What color would you call the bird?

It looks like a blue ameraucana, it could be an easter egger.

It's not a real great representation of blue though. I also think it is a cockerel, just by looking at how the tail feathers are starting to curl downward.

I'm wondering about the cockerel post. Here's some head shots of two birds, What do you think?

Well, may be it is a pullet. Just keep an eye on it.

The second picture is definately a splash ameraucana cockerel.

Your blue probably came from a blue on blue mating and that is probably why I don't like the color.

I have been selling eggs from that particular breeding and so have others on eggbid as many people have requested splash, but I don't keep any of the blue offspring myself as I prefer the darker ones with lacing which is the standard.

Are they from my lines? Or from one of the other gals on eggbid?

I bought them in southern Ohio and don't know a thing about them.

the splash looks like a definite roo to me but the blue could be a roo too, the one i have doesnt have the tail curl that yours seems to have
