Is this an Ameraucana?

[Folly's place]

I had some French Marans/ EE chicks hatched here a few years ago, and he would have fit right into the group! Mine all moved elsewhere, and they were beautiful too!

Is he a brown red? He's colored like a black copper Marans, but obviously isn't, wrong leg color. Beautiful!

OH THATS A BREED he’s definitely not a bantam though.. for the marans, what coloured legs do they have? Don’t they have feathered legs/feet? I’m new to the chicken world so I don’t know much about other breeds besides what I’ve looked at

EDIT: To better clarify

Unless I’m just completely confused at this point

as they got older this one looks different from the others.

The COMB is consistent to that breed.

Ahhhhhhh... I see a male.. Look at them "get-a-way-sticks". Congrats., You can breed them.

I know I have a cockerel, he’s had saddle and sickle feathers for a little bit now what I had been saying is that he looks different from the other 2 cockerels. The other two looked very similar to each other and also looked a lot like what an Ameraucana looks like when you look them up, but he doesn’t. Yes, he has the proper pea comb and it looks to be a lot more standard than my other cockerels comb (who looks more like an Ameraucana to me). I was mostly asking if he was an Ameraucana to see if others say if they think he’s a cross breed or not. Also to see what they offer for potential crosses if they do think he is

I bought 7 Ameraucanas as chicks but as they got older this one looks different from the others.

Where did you get them?

Where did you get them?

They were bought from someone off of a kijiji ad, they were hatched for some kids Easter weekend. I never got to see the parent birds unfortunately

Ah, well, hard to say what they really are.

Olive Egger, or even Easter Egger, are both options here. Your beautiful boy definitely isn't a Black Copper Marans, as he sports the incorrect comb type. Marans = single comb, while cockerel in question = pea comb. He's not an Ameraucana, due to lack of beard. Yellow foot bottoms also point away from both breeds. Honestly, there's no way to be sure of his mix.....but on one thing I'm certain. He's a looker.

When he was younger a friend of mine, who is a lot more well versed in the chicken owning world, said his comb looked funny and almost like an odd single/pea mix. But now it looks and fits the description very well for peacomb.. could that have just been how it was developing or could it be a hint at what he’s crossed with?

I thought the yellow foot bottoms meant he wasn’t actually an Ameraucana, that means my other boy definitely is a mix and I gave away my only white footed cockerel that had yet to grow some red feathers I at least have the 3 girls with white bottom feet and 2 with beards so here’s hoping for some blue eggs soon
