Interesting wing patterns on my Ameraucana cross chicks (pics)

[Azulegg]

We had two broody hens this year hatch eggs. In the coop, my trust worthy clean faced tailed araucana hen hatched three EE's (we lost some chicks during hatch ). The father is an ameraucana (he is out of a buff ameraucana hen and the daddy is a wheaten ameraucana roo). Any how, the two that came from my EE hen Jasmine (she's a wyandotte ameraucana cross) are showing some interesting wing patterns. I can't wait till they are fully feathered to see how they turn out!! Also, I took new pictures of the three new silkies we got. One is a cuckoo cockeral, and the other two are hens. The buff silkie hen is out of a Hattrick hen.

Enjoy the pics!

EE chick #1 - I love how the wing pattern is coming out on this chick! Need vibes that this one will be a hen!

EE chick #2 hoping this one a hen also:

Oh I have to post a picture of my Araucana cockeral Azul. He is one of the surviving araucanas (due to predator break in). I am hoping to get some rumpless pullets to go with him. My white trustworthy broody silkie hen hatched him last year.

I love the pattern on the first EE chick. All of them are stunning!! Thanks for sharing

I love them all

The rumpless is my favorite, I guess 'cause my boy has so many tailfeathers, it's so different looking to me

I

him, and I hope you get babies next year from him

Beautiful roo. Do you have any clue what color cross he is?

I wish I did. His father is tufted/rumpless plain white. His momma was a rumpless wild bbr (she passed unexpectedly this winter - that was a hard one to accept). I even posted his picture on the apa Araucana forum, and no one could really figure this out. We just call him a "lemon, red, blue".

OMG! I love the pic of the Silkie butt in the flowers! That is just too cute! I want a Silkie so bad but I hear they are evil...

He actually looks like BLUE breasted red to me. Just the gold and red didnt come through perfect.

He would be an awesome project bird!!!!
