[MamaGer8ty]

Thank you all so much! It’s been bugging the crud outta me not knowing.

This is my boy El Diablo...he is most definitely a butthead but I love him and I love his colors. He crows all the time and he lives up to his name by waking me up this morning at 4am at my back door and not stopping until 4:40am. I cannot figure out what breed he is. The store had him marked as an Andalusian or Golden laced Wyandotte which I know he can’t be, so any clue??? Thank you!!!

Blue Andalusian X Blue Andulusian
50% Blue
25% black
25% splash
I think he’s a Black Andulusian.

Gorgeous, by the way.

I think he’s a hatchery quality Black Minorca.

Sorry, I’m still new to all of this. What does hatchery quality mean?

It mean not show bred, but still mostly conforms to the breed standard.
I still think Black Andalusian, but BM is a possibility.

If he was marked as a Blue Andalusian at the store, he’s probably a Black Andalusian bred from Blue.

He’s most likely a black andalusian

I’m pretty sure this is what a black Andalusian looks like because Andalusian have different genetics.View attachment 2275523

That’s a blue andalusian. Blue/black/splash genetics are always the same, no matter what breed.

That's still a Blue Andalusian. A Black Andalusian is black like any other breed
