Now, I have to go back and find out what all the web punches mean cause right now, I just know the slash on the right foot between the first two toes mean Lavender.

The web/toe punches refer to the breeding pen NOT the color.

Can anyone tell me if these are Blue/Wheaten Ameraucana's. I was hatching some OE for the Easter Hatch Along and my friend wanted some Heritage Ameraucana's, and gave me a dozen of BLUE eggs. They were all really blue. And I figured I was going to get a bunch of brown chipmunks, but nope, I have 5 yellow, and 3 yellow with blue stripes. They are all 24 hours or under.

Can you ask her what kind of birds she has? Since they're yellow I'm guessing they're wheaten

 

[sillycmoy]

She was told that they were out of a Blue or White Rooster, and the hens are assorted colors. But they were all blue eggs. She said that she saw most of the hens when she picked them up. All good slate legs, and muffs/beards. I was just shocked that they were yellow. Not what I was expecting.

the yellow ones have the "right" chick down color(wheatens are yellow at hatch) but the face dont quite look like Ameraucanas to me
