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 Easter Egger. With that in mind, I have a few questions:
-Is my Ameraucana roo, Barnaby, (Black with splashes of red and cream, bright red triple row pea comb and no waddles) in fact an Ameraucana or just an Easter Egger?
-What is Barnaby's color pattern called? Is there one??
-Same question for my white Ameraucana with black specks.
They are hatchmates with the same parents (parents are not my birds). Both hatched from blue Ameraucana (not Americana/Easter Egger) eggs.
-Is my white Ameraucana with black specks in fact a pullet as I am assuming she is? Single pale pea comb (she has not come into lay, yet (if she is a she), though her brother IS sexually mature and fertilizing eggs now), rounded tail feathers with no signs of sickle feather or pointed saddle feathers. I could not get a good pic of that.
Thank you for any input.
P.S. Please excuse the second picture, my son squeezed a piece of the flock's suet treat through the bars and left quite a gross looking mess. Apologies.
