Blue Wheaten Americana Chicks - What gender? - Page 4

If an Ameraucana had yellow skin, and the legs got their darker pigment later, their legs would be WILLOW, not slate. Since SLATE is the only acceptable color, they should be PINK at first. This is what I said with my post earlier, and I know I am right. I have true Ameraucanas. I have blue black and splash, not wheaten, but that doesn't mean I don't know what I'm talking about.

Wheatens and Buff ameraucanas should start off with pink legs, it can take several months for them to darken to slate but they should still start off pink not yellow.

My Buffs took forever to go slate.

I agree, it looks like you have all roos...

A Rottweiler (Roxy), a Labrador retriever (Gypsy), 2 breeding turkeys, 7 poults, 3 goats (Charlotte, Tata & Oreo), four ducks, 3 geckos and a yard full of chickens...

Yep, all look like roos. The first 2 look like Wheaten roos, and the last one looks like a Blue Wheaten roo. When breeding Blue Wheaten, it is the same as breeding blue...you will get 50% Blue Wheaten, 25% Wheaten, 25% Splash Wheaten. My little Wheaten roo looks just like that first one! And my Blue Wheaten roos look like the last one...but he seems to have very yellow legs. All mine have pink legs right now...they haven't turned slate yet.
