Ameraucana chick future plumage??

[stephanieshim]

I've got a 3 week old Ameraucana and was wondering what she'll look like in the future?
I put pics below, if you've had a chick that looks like this, PLEASE send pictures of what it looks like now!
I want to know what she'll look like

Here is my Ameraucana at 17 weeks...quite beautiful birds.

Those are Easter Eggers. They aren't standard colors, so there isn't a really reliable way of telling by looking at chick down or juvenile feathering what a chick will look like as an adult.

I agree that she is an Easter Egger, which means there can be a lot of variability in the final product, but she is the standard wild partridge type, so you can assume she will be a partridge color similar to the other posters photo.

I'll link a couple of mine below so you can see others that were similar to her and what they grew to be (albeit not completely grown as I don't seem to have photos of them fully grown) . BTW...there is a whole thread somewhere in BYC that posts photos of chicks and final products for EE's, which is a lot of fun to see....search for EE's in the BYC search box.

Found that thread...here it is:

Enjoy your pretty EE...good news is that is the female color type...males will almost never be colored that way.

She'll end up some degree of orange and grey - - - - - it's a very common pattern/color in EE pullets, but there can be a wide variety within it as to how much of each color and whether there is any patterning of the feathers. Plus they will go through a series of molts and changes before their final plumage emerges.

This is Aeryn at about the age of your bird




This is her about 6 weeks


I'll have to try to snag a current (16 mos) picture of her tomorrow when it's light out - she's our flock spazz, so getting one will be interesting......she has ended up so light and with so much of the orange that she sometimes blends in with the buff orps in the flock from a distance -- just a little blue/grey towards the back end of her body.

SUPER late, but she ended up looking like this!!

Nice EE - hope you will enjoy her. EE's are very popular for their colored eggs.

Pretty girl. Hope she will lay pretty eggs too.
