Sex & Type #5 Ameraucana?

Both pullets are cute!

So..... not to hijack your thread, but I was wondering: magsrags and ArizonaDesertChicks, did these two look like chipmunks as new chicks? I have my first EE chicks ("Ameracaunas" from Cackle) and several have that classic chipmunk marking that I see on so many EE chicks. I was trying to figure out what color they'd be as adults and when I saw yours, I thought that looked likely.

Go to this page and you'll see individual photos of our 3 EEs as tiny chicks, older chicks, and adults (I've pointed out which babies turned into which adults):

The chick photos on my page only show side views - here's the only photo I have that might show their backs (the 3 EE are in the center)

Yes, a number of mine had the chipmonk look. But you know what? They turned different colors!

Hmmm, I guess I'll have to wait and see! It will be fun to watch them change. I might try to do photos as they grow and do a progression thread.

One of my chicks is speckled-y around the head and is a russet, I hope she looks like your Cleopatra, ADC-- she is a beauty!!

Thanks - I think she's pretty too - I love EEs. A progression thread is a great idea. I didn't think about it till my chicks were older and unfortunately don't have a lot of pictures of them. I wish I would have taken more, especially of the EEs, to give others an idea of what their chicks might like. The weird thing is; is that the one chick of mine that was always so different than the other two, changed so much that she now looks almost like a twin to one of them (except she's bigger and has a different comb).
