Weird color

[JadeFarms]

So I bred my blue ameraucana to a BJG. One chick came out like this and it’s black.

So is this one blue or something? It has the same mother and father.

Here’s it next to the black chick (same parents)

So cute!! I can't wait to see what the grow up to look like!!

I was wondering why it’s that color. Is it blue or does it have blue leakage or something. BJG is mother and blue ameraucana is father.

Probably a splash

BJG is mother and blue ameraucana is father.

Is the "BJG" a Black Jersey Giant or a Blue Jersey Giant?

Probably a splash

One blue parent and one black parent can give black chicks and blue chicks, but no splash chicks.

Two blue parents, you can get black chicks, blue chicks, and splash chicks.

Black jersey giant, I knew about blue x blue genetics but not blue x black, thanks for the help.

Blue x black yields 50/50 blue and black birds. I think.

That one’s black, I’d say. It’s actually pretty common for extended black based chicks to have that much white on the face.
