Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

Those chicks looked like my splash, but I know Susan doesn't have splash, so I wondered what color.





Plus, I was too lazy to scroll up

Susan doesn't have splash.....yet

Yeah, it's amazing how many different colored chickens start yellow. EEs are fun to watch, because mine all look like chipmunks, but no two look the same after they grow

Yep. Both my Faverolles and Cubalaya chicks were yellow, the fifth toe on the Favs was the easiest way to distinguish them. And the EEs and Partridge Chanteclers were all chipmunk. Green legs on the EEs helped us figure out which were which. One EE turned out brown partridge with black head and tail and gold/black "shawl", the other was orange (sadly fox food 2 years ago).

Of last year's chicks, two EEs were chipmunk, one turned out orange and black "laced" (*) the other brown partridge with a black tail but gold head and gold/black "shawl". The third was nearly indistinguishable from the WRs at first then slowly put on a lovely apricot pattern starting at her head and working back. Less apricot closer to her white tail.

* maybe someone can tell me what this pattern is called (if anything)?

Hopefully I'll be getting some Wheaten/Blue Wheaten hatching eggs in a few weeks!

I don't know what that would be called, but that sure is a pretty EE

Wild-type partridge covers just about any partridge type coloring that doesn't match with recognized varieties.

Arizona. They won't have to travel too far.
