Blue wheaten amerucana

[Party_Chicken]

So this is my baby boy Romeo. He had a black amerucana sister (Juliet) she passed away. I bought him as a blue amerucana to breed with his sis for blue and black. But that went away. Before I splurged on another breeding he I wanted to make sure I got the right one. I’ve been wondering if he’s a blue wheatan instead of a blue with some leakage.

Looks like an Easter Egger to me.

Looks like the Easter Egger rooster I have.

I know this seller is a good one because some her other trues (including his father) had placed really high in the show. He just seems to have a lot of leakage and the seller said I could breed it out over a few generations. His sister was a pure black amerucana.

If he's full of that amount of leakage, most will still deem him as an EE.

Very pretty

He is not blue wheaten. Honestly, his coloring is far from any standard, and I don't think he is a purebred Ameraucana. He has silver leakage as well as gold leakage. That wouldn't just crop up in purebred birds.

Ok. Could I theoretically breed it out over generations? And could I get a true blue ameraucana hen and breed BBS?

Probably, but it could take a few generations. I would make sure it has the white skin color Ameraucanas are supposed to have as well. You can do that by looking at the undersides of his feet. White or pinkish white indicates a white skinned fowl. Any signs of yellow in that area means you have a yellow skinned fowl, which is disqualification at poultry shows.

Okay ill check once I get home. What do you think about the BBS point of things?
