What color is this? (Genetics behind it?) Pics and Vid

[ChickenWisperer]

Hey guys!

Just got this WONDERFUL little girl today - I named her Faun.

I'm fairly sure Faun is an EE, but was sold as Ameraucana (of course). I have NEVER, ever seen this kind of coloring before! She is so beautiful. Does anyone have any clue what kind of color you might coin her? She is only 4 months old.

But most importantly, how do you think I should/could reproduce her coloring? I'm not really "experienced" with color projects or color genetics in chickens. But She is so lovely.

Here are some pics -

blue birchen???

Birchen mix... and I'd say close to being Ameraucana... but would still call it an EE.

I'd say birchen blue as well- with penciling. Gorgeous! What about crossing her with a white roo? Maybe she'd have the dominant colors.

Oh my, she is so pretty !

I just love EE's. I would think any blue or white roo would keep that color going. Although i have had experience yet. Thats what i would try though.

i might even go splash with that because hopefully her color is more dominate so you probably should use a roo that is more recessive in traits....but i could be wrong just starting to grasp this whole thing as well

WOW....a White Laced Black Wyandotte just builded in my head....she is something...

Thanks guys!

Im definately very happy I have her. Such a sweet, beautiful girl.

I was thinking blue or white roo as well. Wasnt sure.....because I can tell she has quite a few things going on with color.
