Hi everyone! I received my order of true standard-size Araucanas from Nancy Utterback and have 10 babies that made the journey. She included one blue chick that's absolutely gorgeous! I'm curious about the black and white babies, though. Will these guys grow up to be silver or splash or solid black? Anyone know? Here are some pics:
This is Domino, the only one with a name so far!
A couple of others without so much white on their faces:
A good pic showing the facial differences between Domino and the others:
I don't know if you can see in these pictures, but they've all got mottled black and white beaks and all but Domino have mottled legs--Domino's are solid orange.
So, whaddya think? Will these guys grow up to be solid black? Silver? Splash? Impossible to tell? I know I'll find out soon enough, but right now I'm just dying of curiosity!
And here's a pic of my blue just because it's gorgeous!
Thanks for any help!
