Looks like a BBR female. Did you use a wheaten?

Yes, her father is a BW male.​

BBR? This is a BBR female

Pretty hen though. Wheaten is the perfect start, all ya need is Columbian and Mahogany. Technically one can actually create reds by crossing Wheaten x Buff then back to Wheaten again or even F1 x F1 and pick out the Columbian and Mahogany carries, and breed for that.​

There are several different descriptions for BBR as well as wheaten in the SOP.....

I guess she would be more of a ginger wheaten.

She's got the Columbian hiding in there, too.

I'd prefer the reds without any black in the tails, what are you breeding towards???

Oh I do see it. I'm just throwin' out some helpful tips.

Okay, she's not really a project Red Ameraucana... just an accidental homemade Easter Egger that sorta looks the part, IMO.

Here's her daddy.

This hen was her mom.
