Mottled Ameraucana Thread

[Coyote Night]

Yep jerry is right the pullets and hens can indeed be split to mottled.

A lot of people have been asking about egg color with the mottled Ameraucanas. Now I can't speak for everyones mottleds, but for ours here is a photo showing side by side comparison with white eggs. This photo is 100% raw no editing other than to add our farm name for copy write protection. No color effects whatsoever.

You can even see a nice blue reflection on the Styrofoam carton. Gorgeous color and I've been raising them for 4 years now hatching pullets to keep for the following year and have never seen a green tint to any of their eggs.

We are working with Mottled Ameraucanas this year. We have a Blue Mottled rooster, a split Blue Mottled hen and a solid Black hen we will be working with. The Blue split girl has a decent egg color but a little green and the Black girl had a nice blue egg so they will live as a trio and just hatch the chicks in separate areas as their egg colors are easy to tell apart. All of the Splash chicks at hatch will just be sold as EEs locally.

The split hen has a good leg color but the Mottled rooster has the normal legs you see with Mottled.

I'm looking mottled or split mottled. doesn't matter bbs to me, but would need shipping to VA unless you're within a couple hours of me.

sex also doesn't matter to me, this is for a project I'm working on and I can come at it either direction.

what I'm working on is a calico blue egger with beard/muff, sometimes crested and pea comb. kind of like this guy but add mottling and clean legs. (he's a splash from silkie/bbs am cross - or so I was told)

I too only have split/solid hens. Hoping to hatch a bunch of mottleds from them! Has anyone had success with better leg color yet?

If you could add a link to the Facebook group you created, that would be great. I am starting to plan for this hatching season, and wish to only retain the mottleds. Both of my cockerels are mottled and my three pullets are splits. When I hatched, I remember that the blacks all had the penguin-down coloration, although only some feathered in mottled. How do I determine, early on (as I have limited brooding space), which chicks will truly feather in mottled? Could some breeders post pictures? At what age should I be able to know if I can't tell based on down? Thank you!
