Ameraucana Chicks-Sex and Coloring Question

[the simple life]

Is there a difference in coloring between the sexes in ameraucana wheatons when they hatch?
I have one that is very light and one that has more of a golden color to it.

my very light one ended up being blue wheaten pullets, my medium yellow ended up as blue wheaten cockerals or wheaten pullets, and my darker yellow(golden) ended up at wheaten cockerals. I have only hatched 7, but that is what I got.....

No, not between the sexes. Sometimes the Blue Wheaten chicks can have a bit more of a yellowish tint to them than the Wheatens but you won't be able to sex them until they start to feather in good. Then you can look for dark pin feathers and those will be your cockerels.

God Bless,

You have some beautiful chickens.

I got 4 Wheaten/Blue Wheatens in my last hatch from pasofinofarm.

I had two light colored and two yellows. I think I also got a roo and a pullet of each. We'll have to see. They are only a week old today.

You can't go wrong with Don & Melissa. They are great people and what you see is what you get with them.

If your chicks aren't marked yet, I recommend you toe punch them and then take a few moments to record what you can about them. That will help you in the future to know what you've got.

God Bless,
