Well I am not positive, but my little wheaten chick is mostly white... I saw one little odd dark feather and some cream color.If anyone has a picture of a splash wheaten chick I would love to see it.
When I left the farm I had 4 little wheatens from my own flock that had hatched.... 1 more had pipped and 3 more still in there.... having a better hatch with wheatens than I do lavs I had one from my split out when I left and there were 4-5 eggs in that basket.... I couldn't see the other basket. Update tomorrow..... it is actual hatch dayThese wheatens will tell me if I have a blue roo are black.... I can't tell... he is kinda gray but very dark no lacing.
I would not breed them if they straight combs, except as EE. I would also be leery of the others, they may carry it. I had one that was throwing straight combs so she is now and Olive eggs... may not work there either if she is dominate for the pea comb.I got some ameraucanas from an breeder online. They were a mix of blue and black chick's. One is the really nice blue 2 are all little darker. The rest are black. I am new to this but it looks to me like 2 of them have a single comb not a pea combs. They are around 5 weeks old many a week older. I was hoping to keep 1 roo and whatever girls I get. Is it possible to get a single comb out of a batch of chick's and it's just not show quality or does it mean the lines are not good and the should not be bred or sold as true ameraucanas.
