    Ameraucanas: white recess roo over mauve hen?

    Will all the chicks be blue? Could some be splash? I have a pen with 2 white roos over 6 white hens plus one mauve. I have a 3 week old chick who started off yellow so we assumed white, but now I'm seeing the odd gray feather. Thanks for your input

    I purchased several BBS chicks from a reputable breeder. Now that they are 8 weeks, one blue cockerel is showing barring or a cuckoo pattern (is there a difference?) in his feathers. Is this possible with the BBS orps or is he an accidental cross of something else?
