Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

[Illia]

Far as I've read and have been told, yes - Because splash varies too much. You can't ask for an actual standard on their color, as I don't think you can actually breed splash to look in a specific way. I myself have a good variety - My splash Araucanas are beautifully marked but only towards the bodily area, with hardly any smudging between colors, while my splash Jersey Giants are very smudged but evenly marked, their blue is extremely pale, and I've yet to have a splash Ameraucana.

The ABA has accepted splash as a color variety in a couple varieties. I am not too familiar with the bantam side of the fancy so I do not know what birds that would include.

Looks like an Easter Egger to me. And not in the "a Marans got into the mix" but simply a "you bought an Easter Egger and was told it was an Ameraucana" sense.

He's got green legs, which Cuckoo Marans would not pass on, and he's got the standard Easter Egger coloring of dominant white over duckwing.

I'm ok with it just being an EE. I got him and the Maran as new chicks to be company with a sole survivor of a bad hatch. That chick ended up being a hen!

I see potential olive eggers in your future

He is a lovely roo- with his Fabio hackles and all.

He really is neat looking, but 2 roos + 1 hen = GET MORE CHICKENS.

Welcome to chicken math.
