Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

Nobody have any input on the chick I posted in post #1330?? I don't want to sell her if she IS a splash, but don't need her if she's a lavender... ????? thanks!!

I posted on page 129 also. Oh well, I guess I'll know in time.

Wish I was closer, I'd take her if she's a lavendar. I love the lavendar's!

It's too hard to determine on a chick. Ask the breeder if they sent you any lavender eggs.

It's hard to tell what color they are from the red light in the pictures, but I think I see some dark blues and blacks. They are too young to sex at this time.

And, no they do not fade to gray.

Thanks! The more I look at them, the more I think I do have some blues.

I saw the post about pure Ameraucana eye color. Mine have black eyes. Does the eye color change when they get older?​

 

[pips&peeps]

Yes, the eye color changes as they mature.

The chick looks like a blue. If it was a lavender or splash, it would be a lot lighter.

Thanks everyone! Just had to ask because she is so much lighter than the other blues...
