Since he has a beard, I'm not surprised that some of his chicks have beards too.Wow, thanks for this! Here's the roo, he was ordered from a hatchery with 30 other Americaunas and turned out to be a dude. Some of the chicks also seem to have little beards too!
I think he does have blue rather than black, which makes sense considering some of the chick colors.
He does not appear to have barring, so that matches what I was assuming when I was giving answers.
