Bielefeilder rooster breed with a bantam Americana

[AmeraucanaHank]

Hi, does anybody now what a full grown Bielefelder/ Americana hybrid looks like, I already have the chicks, Thanks a bunch!

Since the Americana is probably an Easter egger, there's no telling how they'll look, easter eggers are genetic mish mash.

Since the Bielefelder is the father, all the chicks should have white barring, no matter what other colors they have in their feathers.

Other than barring, Bielefelders mostly have recessive genes for feather color, so the chicks are more likely to resemble their mothers in color (with the white barring added over the top).

The Bielefelder has a single comb, and Ameraucanas have pea combs, as do most Easter Eggers. So the chicks will probably have a pea comb, but larger and somewhat oddly shaped compared with what their mothers have. (You only get the tidy little pea combs when both parents have pea combs.)

The chicks will not have feathered legs, extra toes, or crests on their heads unless a parent has those things (Bielefelders and Ameraucanas do not.)

If the mothers have muffs/beards on their faces, the chicks probably will too.

Since one parent is big and the other is little, the chicks will probably grow to be middle-sized chickens.

If the mother lays blue or green eggs, the daughters are likely to lay green eggs, although there might be some that lay brown eggs.
