Predicting the color of dark brown Ameraucana Chicks

[GardeNerd]

Here was one of my mostly brown Easter Egger chicks. I had 3 exactly the same.

About 3 days old

Here she was at six weeks old.

Here is one of the others that looked just like her as a day old.

I got 2 that were fairly similar, though one was such a dark brown it almost seemed tinged with black.

One is now just like the usual brown and gold shown in the pics above, and the other is the same pattern, however she's black with brown- very pretty, with a brown beak and legs. Her name is Dove...after my favorite dark chocolate!

I have a dark brown EE chick from Ideal, too. I got it from a local feed store. It doesn't have any of the typical chipmunk markings. It has wing feathers that are barred now with a lighter brown. I'm curious how she'll end up looking.

I have a EE chick that is almost all black with a deep chocolatey rusty brown head. I will get photos tonight; but does anyone have any idea what she will look like? She does not have the chipmunk makings at all like her 3 buddies do.

This is our super dark Americauna/Easter Egger. There's another one just behind her, lemon yellow with stripe and spots. Not sure what either of them will look like as I've only ever had the light chestnut brown ones with the stripes and they've all turned out nearly the same color as adults, perhaps with exception to the neck feathers... the wild greyish brown and penciled look. So if anyone has any idea what these two may end looking like, I'd love to hear your responses.
