The first picture looks like brown red, the third looks like red pyle, the fourth one looks like wheaton. Red pyle is not a reckognized colour in Ameraucanas, but thats what he looks like to me. If you are interested in researching this further then go to:http://www.ameraucana.org/scrapbook.html.

They are crosses, so really, have no set color pattern. Yes, some can be similar to accepted colors, but are not those colors, so you can't actually get a name for any of them.

Ok, thank you for the input!

Gosh where do you people get a red pyle Easter Egger? I am SOOO Jealous!! I want some eggs from that guy x the red headed white one girl.

I'd call daddy red pyle, and those moms just a buff-partridge type color, but really - EEs are so mixed around, there are no real names for their colors.

OK, Lets see.
Offspring # 1(Dad is a Blue Orp) Might be a Red breasted Black type color.
Dad to #2: Marilyn Is a Pyle type color.
Offspring# 2: Sunflower Is a Pyle type color

But like speckledhen said they are crosses, so really have no set color pattern so all we can do is get you close...

Of course they won't look exactly like purebreds, but some look pretty similar.

Marilyn came from some Ebay eggs (True Ameraucanas, don't you know--NOT!). Sadly, I gave him away, cause I thought he might have meaty-type mix in him, and was worried he might pass on poor egg laying ability to his offspring-NOT! Sunflower lays every day. Oh, well.

Thanks for the compliment and input on color.

Agreed. However, they do have the gnees for those colours, sop with selective breeding you can promulgate the variety and become closer and closer to the standard. It just depends on how much you want to work on it, and how much time you are willing to devote to the project.
