Was there another line about her being the only child of a wealthy family?
I hope you're new roo stays good natured. Ameraucanas are
supposed to be recessive white, so the first generation off your colored hens should not be white unless the hens have a single copy of it in their DNA. However, its hard to say what colors and patterning genes lay hidden under your new roo's white................................ you may get some very unusal colors and patterns in your chicks. It should be fun to see what you get.
{ I stressed "supposed" because I had one carrying one copy of dominate white also }
I have a roo that looks similar to this one. If I want some yard candy from the following hens what might I expect
Blue Ameraucan
White Olive Egger
Black Olive Egger
Also have growing FBCM pullets and roos
I have the usual EE colors (black with brown/buff with black) I may have a splash, not sure if she is EE or Plymouth Rock she has green legs so it is throwing me.
I have only had chickens for a few months, but clearly I am addicted. I love my blue eggs and can't wait till these new girls start laying, should be soon! I want my "Easter Basket" of eggs! I spend more time at BYC than I do on Facebook!
I'm not sure which rooster yours looks simular to??????????? While blue and blacks will generally produce more blues and blacks, their own genotypes and those of the roo may result in other colors bleeding through or showing up in a pattern. The white hen could be white because of several different genes................... no telling what she will produce. Plymouth Rocks don't have green legs as far as I know, and I've never heard of blue or splash Plymouth Rocks............... but I don't know much about Plymouth Rocks in general.
