I don't know the answer to your question about mixing the colors besides I know it usually results in EEs not accepted colors. But I can tell you Winter is a roo.

She might, it depends on her genetic background. If she has two blue egg genes all offspring will lay blue eggs. If she only has one then half will lay blue and half won't.

Gypsy is beautiful! Thanks for sharing her pics! Love her tail especially- angle, openness, etc!

Interesting project. Not one I've heard of but they've certainly put some work into getting color conformation in their flock. Very pretty!

Ameraucanas are harder to sex than single comb breeds. Black one I can't be sure of but the bottom is a boy. He is also not a blue, he is an EE. Blue Ameraucanas should be a slate gray color all over. I have never grown out a blue Ameraucana that started out that way. In addition, he has...

I have no experience with wheatens. The black boy looks pretty nice to me from the photos you posted. I can get a good sense of his topline but not his underline. If you want some critiques try to get a shot directly from the side level with the bird, when he is standing in a natural pose...

With the color of the legs and feathers being "off" I would guess you have an Easter Egger (an Ameraucana mix). I have no experience with MPC, but in general any "Americana" or other spelling purchased from a hatchery is going to be an EE no matter how they word it. If they claim some have...

X2 Sorry those are both boys, the long pointy feathers that start at the base of the tail and fall gently down the body are sickle feathers.

Haha really? I just posted an auction yesterday for 12 large fowl Ameraucana BBS hatching eggs here on post 1516. Bid is at $15, to end tomorrow morning at 8 AM central time. Pictures are there on the post. If you don't win I may have another batch late this week. ETA: I see you are in...

I can't answer all of your questions but I can solve one part- any with a white dot on their head carry the barring gene so they are most likely sired by the Cuckoo Marans rooster. From what I can tell most of the chicks have that. The whites may also be sired by the Cuckoo but you can't tell...

yokohamamama yes that is a very pretty boy!

There is a nice list of all the accepted colors with photo links on the Ameraucana Club's website: http://www.ameraucana.org/scrapbook.html Or do you mean the way color works with breeding different colors together? My undestanding is the only colors you can mix and get proper colored...

They would all be EEs. Only silver Ameraucanas hatch out with this "wild type" down and they are quite rare. Congrats, they are cuties!

Sometimes an Ameraucana roo can be a late bloomer- maybe wait a few more weeks before you worry. I had one I swore was a pullet until about 4 months old- he was a REALLY late bloomer!

I just sold a black Ameraucana hen to an eggs-only home that I had pulled out of my breeding pen for the same type reasons- she had a definite brown tint to her muff and beard and her underfluff, too. I've not heard anyone say NOT to breed from it but given the big deal brown fluff is given on...

Those are GREAT questions and you've gotten some really good answers. A friend of mine, GaryDean26 recently pointed me to a few resources; I haven't had the time to read through them yet but it might be worth bookmarking them and thinking about these methods. Breeding and Culling by Head...

How exciting! Congrats!

What a pretty little EE! You should go share on the EE braggers thread!

At 3 months I would say pullet.
