I hatched out a pile of blue and black americaunas. One is my ultimate favorite and I'm sure she's a hen.

They should all look the same at hatch. As they feather in, males look distinctly different from the females.Should pure wheatons only hatch pure wheaton colored chicks? Or do some come out different? This is a chick from purebred (apparently) parents.
Lavender is a recessive gene. Lavender to Lavender can only produce Lavender offspring. It's possible that the person you got this chick from didn't know what they were doing, and actually had Blue/Splash birds instead of Lavender. Blue/Splash is a completely different gene, and is dominant. Blues only have a single copy, Splash have two. Blue to Blue pairings have a 25% chance of black offspring.Hi! I just got a new chick. Parents are lavender Ameraucanas. The chick is black with black legs? I'm confused. So I am guessing I have an EE and there was leakage? Can someone explain how you get a black chick out of lavender parents?

So could this chick be a blue splash?
Awesome thanks!No, it is a black... if the parents are actually blue and lavender, then offspring will hatch out black, blue or splash... splash chicks start out yellow...
Awesome thanks!
