Ameraucana is this a splash wheaten roo?

[DawnMarie74]

This hatched from a wheaten egg so I assumed it was a wheaten hen because of the light color. Now I'm guessing splash roo? Does anyone know?

Hmmm, this one is a toughy. How old is it? Is there such a thing as a splash wheaten? Those legs are awful light colored for a pure Ameraucana. That red is really intense and splotchy over the shoulders. I think it is a roo but question whether or not it is pure Ameraucana.

It was born June 8th just a little over 3 months. I paid dearly for these eggs on ebay, so I'm sure hoping they are pure.

That is indeed a pure Ameraucana. I don't see how pale legs would say otherwise unless they're solid white/pink on a dark colored bird.

Splash is known to mess up leg color, but still, I see some slate there.



But yes, that's a Splash Wheatie.

Cool. I love learning new things. I saw the pink toes and the really light colored legs and that's what had me wondering.

Yep

Boooooo.

Well, I guess this one is Craigs List bound.

I have one more bird to post...another blue AM...off to take some pics.

i have a standard little pullet who has that coloration and I had no clue where that color could come from (she's a mutt so I'm not sure about her past some1 gave her 2 me when she was a day old)
