I hatched out what has to be a splash ameraucana today. She is out of a pen with a blue AM rooster over black and blue AM hens. Her egg is blue. She is a really pale white/yellow with some tiny blue marks. The odd thing is her legs though. They are yellowish on the toes. I thought ALL ameraucanas had slate legs. Can the splash have splashed legs as well?

I'll try to get pictures tomorrow when it is lighter.
 
Are her soles yellow? As long as her soles are white, she's fine. Naturally lighter colors w/slate legs will have more white (it may look yellow) tips on the toes and even legs, but just as long as there's no green or yellow, they're fine.

Now as a chick, don't worry! Slate legs on lighter colored breeds will indeed look yellow for a while until they grow up.
 
Okay... that is nice to know.
I was wondering if I had some freaky genetic flashback or something.
