Name for this color of Amerucana?

[Htxchicks]

Or did you mean the OPs bird is not a Cornish? I never said theirs is, only that mine with the same color is

I’ve decided this project must of used an OE Red Pyle game. Looking at pictures I can see the similarities. I don’t think it’s a recent mix because the eggs they lay are huge and a light baby blue laying 5-6 days a week.

I wouldn’t consider this bird an Easter egger. To me an Easter egger is a designer mutt with no standard. This line is obviously one someone put lots of effort and thought into even if it’s not a variety of ameraucana.

I’m not the type to let an association say what is a pure bred and what isn’t just because it’s not in a book somewhere. I was always taught pure bred has more to do with consistency in the line. You can mix breeds to together to take the parts you want and then bred towards those traits until they bred true to goal. That’s how breeds are created. I thought that was especially true in the chicken world because they are not papered like a dog or horse.

Is this a buff wheaten rooster? He seems different from most of the buff wheaten roosters I find. I did however find some like him that people said was a buff wheaten with dominate white.
Just wondering whatever he is I think he’s magnificent.

Looks like Splash Wheaten.

There's different variations.

The hens look like Splash Wheaten too.

Splash X Splash = 100% Splash.

Breed to a black bird for color confirmation?

Awesome to know because I just hatched a cross with this rooster and a black naked neck! It hatched as a yellow chick. I also have 4 chicks from the rooster and the splash wheaten looking hen. Thanks for the answer. Do you perhaps know what sort of patterns I could get breeding him to a partridge Cochin hen?

Splash X Black should produce 100% Blue.

Blue Partridge, should be produced.

Do you have pictures of the chick?

The Nn is actually black with what I think is called gold leakage so not pure black. I’m assuming that could change things. Is there like a book y’all use to learn about the general chicken genetics?

I was talking about if you breed to the Partridge Cochin.

After seeing the chicks, the Ameraucana must be Dominant white.

Thinking he was mixed with White, & Wheaten Ameraucana, same with the hens.

He looked like a splash at first.

He does have a beard and muff he is about 3 years old now so they are just whiskers that you see up close coming from his red old man face... All the females he has produced are either buff or lavender splash buff? The males end up looking just like him.View attachment 2681322View attachment 2681328the second picture is his son who I unfortunately lost to a hawk. As you can see he has very pronounced muffs. If the females he throws are a standard color is he still considered an Easter egger? I figured he was just a non standard color of Amerucana since he breeds true.

Where did you get him? Do you have pictures of his daughters? His beard was likely plucked out by your other chickens.

I would really consider him a white laced red then.

My Cornish male is on the right side, but you can see a few similarities

The OP’s bird doesn’t have lacing. The red on his chest is due to leakage.

On the first page the female hen and the cockerel are his offspring. I got them from a local breeder who had many birds from this line all having a very consistent look. I had the 9 month female and 6 month old cockerel first but lost him to a hawk. I went back and ended up getting what used to be the top rooster because he was getting in fights with other roosters there. He had a pretty messed up eye and I assume that is why his beard and muffs are plucked. It has slowly grown in but it’s not normal fluffy feathers it’s like whiskers/pins still. He also went thru a very hard molt this winter.

when I breed him to the Hen I got all yellow chicks with legs that are already at 8 days a slate color. The chicks are feathering in a white wing feathers and light orange near faces. Out of 5 chicks they are all identical colors. Even the cross.
