Someone missed the memo, these were suppose to be all blue. Hopefully these will not all turn out to be little roo's.

Did you hatch them or were they shipped? You do know how blue works, right?

We've been stiffed recently by breeders that had to wait because of weather to ship out chicks, and when they finally did arrive it was obvious they had been sexed.

These came from a local breeder. This is my first time getting an actual Ameraucana, and not ee's. And to be honest , I know very little about how the color works, but I am starting to read every post I can find on it.

If the parents are 100% blue, you would potentially get blue, black and splash chicks.

wait! am I missing something? You can sex blue Am's as chicks? I didnt think you could sex them as young young-chicks??

No- these weren't blue Ams- just older chicks, about 4 weeks.
