Any guesses on the mix in this GQ? Half lavender ameracauna? Got her from the local agrarian which buys from Meyer. I put a sand and peat moss mix in their cage so they could dust bathe - she’s actually a light gray - not yellow/brown from her dirt bathing.

Her head has this fluffy part on the back that makes her look like a balding man with chops on the sides. You can kind of tell in the picture where she’s sitting in my hand.

It has white skin, so could be part Ameraucana.

I would skip the peat moss and use just sand for their dust bath. Dry peat moss can harm lungs.
I have seen some people say it’s fine and others say it’s too dusty…but when I was mixing sand and PM, the sand (which is just construction sand - the same I use in my big girl coop and buy washed in bulk) was also dusty. I had dried it out, of course, but it was just as dusty as the PM. 🤷🏼‍♀️
