Does the middle one have Splash cockerel coloring?


and I think the one on the right is a BW boy, but the tan breast is throwing me off. Anyone have a BW boy with a light chest before?

It sure looks like it could be splash. As far as the bottom pic, I've never seen a male with a tan chest at that size. It's back looks male, but not it's chest. How old are they? It's an oddity.

They are about 6 weeks now.

I have BBS Ameraucanas and no they never had white on their chest.

Um...Blacks usually have white/yellow down on the throat and belly. It's still feathering in on the chest/neck/belly.

I saw that on the Ameraucana website gallery. Mine had yellow and the area wasn't that large. Maybe a little more time will tell.

Oh my pretty, why must you be a boy? Look at that red comb on him!

I think I'll just call this one a boy for now. I'll hang onto it, but everything but the chest says boy.

Well it doesn't look blue and I don't think it's Ameraucana either.  I've never seen a blue or black chick at 4 weeks old with white on its chest.  Anyone else ever seen it?

I wouldn't call it white, it's a faint yellow. But I'm new to this breed or whatever it's gonna be

Just chick down. No worries. The chick will feather in completely black.

I'm sorry someone was either dishonest with you......or they had no clue. But he looks fairly mature to have known the gender for some time now. This is one of my EE cockerels......I have several and they will be processed soon......they're about 4.5 months now. The hackle and tail feathers are a dead giveaway with mine by 3 months.
