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 }

SteveH you anticipation of interesting offsprings is contageous. I really want to see what my WhiteAm over my Cream Brabanter will look like !

Nah the song talks about a homely woman who will take care of you and be a great cook and not busy running around looking for dresses etc to make her more beautiful. No money !

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 have somewhere around 75 EE's and this is the most unique of my bunch, she is the only one that is only black and white...

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.

I am new to EEs- my broody Buff Orp hatched 3 fertile "Easter Eggs" this Easter- This is what came out. Still watching development and trying to make sure I have the genders figured out. - The three are a funny little trio, who operate as a completely separate flock from Mamma hen and the big girls. Each has a completely different size, muff, tail, personality, and feathering. I am looking forward to seeing how they turn out! They are so much fun so far!

As babies:

What a nice variety. The gray/blue one is lovely.

A pretty woman makes her husband look small
And very often causes his downfall.
As soon as he marries her
Then she starts to do
The things that will break his heart.

But if you make an ugly woman your wife,
You'll be happy for the rest of your life,
An ugly woman cooks her meals on time,
She'll always give you peace of mind.
