Easter Egger Cockrell? And......can and Andalusian be completely black?

Close enough Odder. You know what they meant.

I know. Was just pointing it out.

That breeding chart has a mistake in the pictorials for blue x blue.

Nice catch!

I won't use that one (from google images) again , I do value accuracy.

Blue is a dilute to black. As @artbykarenehaley tried to explain. To get 100% BLUE offspring can only be done by black cross splash parents. See the following chart..

So truly they are all 3 Andalusion. Black or Blue just references their color. But yes, I think most people would call it a black Andalusion. I have no doubt that is very likely what they sent you and makes perfect sense verses a mystery bird. But like you say, anything is possible!

Oh yeah, most birds will start showing some pointy saddle feathers growing in at this age if they are boys.. and will usually have much redder comb and wattles starting around 8 weeks.. Brahma can be slow developers.. Hopefully that EE was your most suspicious one and you got all ladies! Her feather coloration is one of the things that confirms gender..

They're all lovely, thanks for sharing!

Thank you for explaining that better with a visual, haha
