I’m thinking I didn’t get what was listed…

I'm pretty interested in this guy as I was just asking questions about putting a Delaware hen under a dominant white Ameraucana. So likely this very bird is similar to what the males would look like from such a cross color wise. Can you post more pictures of his tail, saddle feathers and hackles? I could swear I saw faint barring in his tail too.
Sure! Interesting that you said that because my husband thinks exactly this (with no chicken breeding experience) because our white Ameraucana has the brown-ish wings and that pretty tan coloring too! I’ll try and get some pics later today :)

Send me pictures of your Ameraucana too just because I'm interested lol white with brownish wings. Is it Wheaten Ameraucana? Delawares are wheaten base and having a dominant white parent would make it heterozygous dominant white. Dominant white doesn't color over any red. The red color will stay but it covers most black with some leakage. You might be seeing the wheaten base color of the Delaware through dominant white. Silver normally colors over the red/brown wheaten in a Delaware so it looks white. I'm not 100% sure if this is the case but it's my best guess.

The EE is the same age as this Roo and all my birds are hatchery via the feed store(s). BUT here are pics-

I am definitely seeing brown barring now on his hackles and tail!
