Thanks, Brooster Springsteen, The chicks do have little patches of color in them. I really want to see what they end up feathering out to look like. I have some chicks that are very white and others that are more yellow and many that are yellow with little spots on them. It is interesting. Do you know what color of eggs they might lay? will they lay white eggs or lighter shades of brown and green?

If they have single combs, they are mostly likely to lay nonblue/green eggs

Your Leghorn roo over your Ameraucanas would produce fairly bright blue or blue-green eggs (depending on the color of the egg your Ameraucanas lay). The Leghorn/Barred Rock roo over the Ameraucanas would produce various colors of green eggs. And then all of the other chicks will lay either brown or white, depending on which roo is the papa. But I'm just going on the chickens listed in your signature. Did you set eggs from anyone else?

You have the potential for quite the rainbow.

I just set my eggs, no eggs from any place else. I was wanting some of the bright blue eggs but I only have 6 chicks from the mix and most of them are from the Leghorn rooster. The Leghorn Barred Rock rooster doesn't seem to be very active with the 2 Ameraucana hens in his coop. Most of the green eggs I set from the L/BR rooster were clears. I think I only have one chick out of a green egg from him. I do have one green egg from the Leghorn rooster under a hen right now but we are having the blizzard of all blizzards with another winter storm due to hit later this week.

I don't know yet if any of my eggs have hatched yet. It's raining cats and dogs outside and I don't want to disturb my mama hen while it is so cold and wet. I'll just have to wait till tomorrow morning. :/
