Beautiful! Thank you so much! I appreciate you taking the time to explain it for me and yes, fingers crossed for healthy girls with beautiful eggs :D

Of the three Starlight Green Eggers we have in our flock, we have one beautiful olive green layer, one pastel teal green layer, and one beautiful peach layer!

Chicken math attack yet again...I've got four more ((sigh)); two Cream Legbar and two Olive Eggers from My Pet Chicken. The little Olive Egger chicks look indentical (Black/Charcoal/Grey/Cream/White) except for one thing...leg feathering. One has it and one does not. When I saw the leg...

Rare, but NOT impossible. It happens and it happening more in recent times for whatever reason. Stress and hormonal changes can contribute to two eggs a day.

I agree 1050% I did find the information you supply here in my own researchathon (I'm a self-proclaimed infomaniac). You'd think I'd know something by now, but no. The more I learn about blue egg layers, the less I feel I know and the more misunderstandings I adopt ((sigh)) It's fun though lol...

Same. That or a rogue rooster came to visit and she didn't know. Either way, I'm eager to see what results in their offspring and thank you for the compliment! :)

I know and so I checked with her just to be sure we were talking about pure AmerAUCANA and she assured me that's what her birds are. Oh well, this has been a learning experience :-)

Alright, you all, just cross fingers she's for sure a little girl and I'll be happy no matter what breed she is. Oh and cross fingers that Barnaby is carrying two blue genes, and that'll be a bonus! lol Thank you all for everything.

They both hatched from beautiful blue eggs, this is just so weird and I'm left with more and more questions. I thank you greatly for your expertise and input. Keep it comin'!

I'm used to not getting what I'm after lol It's quite alright. I still love them, I'll just be more careful next time. It certainly doesn't help that I'm still too undereducated on the topic. When I'm better educated, I can go into it knowing what to look for. I was under the popular...

She 100% does. I do know that. It's a single row where her brother's is triple. A very low, pale, single row pea comb,

I wondered about that, too. She has the slightest bit of a "painting" of inky grey on the very tops that is hard to see unless you're looking. She's the weirdest one of the 8 I hatched. The only one with no beard and very little muffs by her earlobes. I did help this one hatch and she struggled...

You are correct. The only one of her hatchmates. And though very SPARSE, she has the itty bittiest bit of muffs by her earlobes and that's it. I found that very odd.

So weird that a bird can come from purebred Ameraucanas and NOT be an Ameraucana lol I don't know that it'll ever make sense to me. I do not believe the seller was being deceitful, but I believe it's possible she was deceived and maybe believed what she has are pure Ameraucana ((shrug)) Oh well...

I have two Ameraucanas in my flock (I THINK). The topic still confuses me, because I've learned that just because a chicken has parents that are both Ameraucanas, if they don't meet a certain color requirement, they might not TECHNICALLY be Ameraucanas, but instead be simply classified as an...
