It's pretty hard to get photos of my pullets. They run from the phone lol

Here are chick photos and now at 19 weeks.

Lady

Ash

Kate

They were such cute little puff balls especially Lady.

Here are the 2 right after hatch.

Here they are again. I'm not sure how old but it was awhile ago. Not the best pics unfortunately. These are all I could find. They were both pretty skittish as chicks. Much friendlier now though.

Wheaten are cream colored as chicks. You got Easter Eggers, no doubt about it.

We LOVE our EE's!

our two "sisters" Lily + Luna....whom I think are gorgeous!


Our boldest...."Scratch"


And our Ameracauna, Robin






I really really would love to have a Lavender Ameracauna or gray colored EE...but haven't been able to find one close to our girls' age...ours are 5/6 months now...

@sjbtigger19 Are you getting lots of pretty eggs yet?

Even blue wheaten. The only difference between the Blue wheaten and wheaten is that the blue gene dilutes the black 'pattern', which can't be seen until they begin to feather in. As chicks, it is impossible to tell the difference between Splash Wheaten, Blue Wheaten, and Wheaten. The wheaten pattern gene produces cream chicks, regardless of the dilute gene.

Beautiful, but I do feel the need to say that Robin is not an Ameraucana. She is an Easter Egger, like the rest of them.

That is really interesting. I'm really loving the whole color genetics topic. I find it facinating! Is there anywhere you can recommend some good reading material for beginners?
