Name for this color of Amerucana?

[Htxchicks]

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.

Closest color would probably be dominant white red wheaten. He's also an Easter Egger. A pure Ameraucana must have beard and muffs and a standardized color.

Looks like my white laced red Cornish male. He's not an ameraucana though

Handsome Easter Egger! I'm not sure there's a name for that specific color.

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.

the 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.

Here's a thread for you to look at, it will explain genetics better.

Yes. Dominant white is not naturally in Ameraucanas, so he must have had another breed mixed in to give him his coloring.

They don't lose muffs with age

He’s got old man whiskers sticking out where his muff and beard would be. They don’t photograph well but are easy to see in person.

I do not care if he is considered pure since I will mostly be using him for Olive egger chicks. He’s a great guy whatever he is. I mostly wanted to know the color name so I could figure what to expect when I cross him with my brown laying hens.
