I was simply trying to suggest something that would catch my eye for needing improvement if they were my chicks.
That hasnt been my experience with my birds. Even the crosses with my Marans have beards and muffs from day one.
If they are slow to feather to beards, most breeders should not use...
Silkiaucana chick question- are the bottoms of the feet yellow or white? That will answer the leg color question.
If these were my Ameraucana chicks I was looking over I would think that something of the original gets lost in the sibling cross.
Slate legs,peacombs,orangish eyes, red ear...

Can you reliably get Blue Wheatens from a Wheaten X Blue cross???? I don't know the genetics involved very thoroughly on that crossing...
This is a blue/blue wheaten cross. He hatched from eggs from a mixed pen from one of my friends for another friend who wanted fun colored birds...
