We bought a few eggs at a Poultry Show and hatched them. What I thought we got was two gray Americauna cross chickens that look similar to a sapphire gem. I’ve never seen a feather pattern like these. Similar to a slw, but different.
At hatch, these looked dark black like barred rock chicks except no head spot. A little yellow twinge under belly. Greenish legs.
Here we are at about three weeks and they have a white stripe on the center of feathers (whatever the hard part of the feather is) with some white flecks on back and side and almost completely white chest feathers. Puffy Americauna cheeks with brown on heads. Any ideas? What will these look like as adults? Certainly not like Sapphire Gems. The black and white feathers in a non Dominique or barred rock style have me stumped.
I was told Dominique or Barred Rock hen x Blue Wheaton or Silver Americana roo parentage. Looking at chicks of those, I only see some type of Americauna.
