I hatched Comet from a blue Ameraucana egg and I thought he was supposed to be an Ameraucana, but to my amateur eyes, he looks barred. Is this barring or will he grow into blue? He is currently 5 weeks old.

Thanks! I didn't think blue Ameraucana looked barred, but I found so few pictures of older chicks that I wanted to make sure. He must be Ameraucana crossed with OE then. He came from a rainbow assortment so I was only hoping the Ameraucana eggs were pure:)

Not a pure ameraucana and not blue either. Pretty though!
 
Additional question about the "sister"(unsure if she is related at all, but since she is also barred.I suspect she is at least a half sibling). I finally have a good picture of her now that she is in the sunlight. Is there a name for this type of faint barring? I'm really hoping it is called ghost barring since her name is Phantom🤞:D
