That's cool. What color was the hen?I crossed our Dominique rooster (black/white barred) over our Ameraucana hen, and all of the offspring are barred. Here's a picture. They have the body shape of the Ameraucana (and puffy cheeks), but the barred coloring from the rooster.
They both look like pullets to me.My EE babies are 8 weeks now, so I'm back again. Sesame is a very obvious cockerel, with a fire engine red comb and bright rooster red feathers popping up everywhere. He's kind of a jerk, so no big loss there ;-)
First up I have a question about Wilford. His coloring leans towards cockerel with some red showing up, but the comb is the least developed of all four EEs. Here are the best pictures we were able to take last night.
Next is Owl. Pale comb, only black and white feathering.
We have 10 spring chicks in total and judging by our backyard, they are starting their next molt, so I will post new pictures when they have their final feathering. Any opinions on Wilford and Owl in their current state are greatly appreciated. Thank you!
all same age.
This is Tikka? I'm still torn. Pattern in the pic looks pullet, but do you have a side view (like in your avatar)? I want to see what happened with the patchiness on the wings. The comb is very pink for a pullet too. Still could be a late cockerel, but I'm just not sure. Need a side view.Hey there. Update at 8 weeks. I think she/he(?) is third in the pecking order of 4.
This one is confusing me. The red comb and patchy coloring is usually enough to call cockerel (and I'm leaning that way) but for some reason it still looks like a pullet. Is this a friendly bird and your favorite? If so, probably a cockerel...Yes this is my Tikka. Here are some more pictures. I am happy to keep uploading.
Those are Easter Eggers, not Ameraucana. Second generation crosses are going to be real wildcards.Here's a photo of the mama hen...the second closest to camera.
