Just wondering!
These chicks were sold as Ameraucanas, but its most likely that they are Easter Eggers, especially due to their feet and eye colors, and just the fact that feed stores don't sell pure Ameraucanas.
If anyone has owned chicks that look like mine, please post pictures of what they look like now! ^u^

I'm praying for a wheaten and maybe a deep brown or black/gold, but who knows x3
Anyone have any idea?


Hopefully wheaten:






Absolutely no idea:


 
The second one looks like it could be an americuana, but the top one does not!

With Easter Eggers, you never know what you will get. You can have three chicks that all look the same, and 8 weeks later are all completely different. You never know what the hatchery has used in creating them, so you never can be sure what they will turn out looking like.
My three Easter Eggers in the back. They where all practically identical as chicks.

Wow, gorgeous birds!
I think that the first chick (Her name is Cashew) will be easy to predict at some extent; hopefully wheaten ^u^

If a chick has very dark fluff, will the adult most likely have dark feathers?

Maybe. The first chick is likely to be predominantly buff shade or white. She's not wheaten but she might look kind of close to one when she's older. The darker chick might be a dark colored bird, or it could be one of the kind that has a dark head and a lighter overall pattern on the body. But you won't have a good idea of final coloring and pattern until 8 weeks or so. They can change a lot week to week.
