What colour is this Ameraucana chick?

[Erin80]

This one hatched yesterday. Father is a blue, mom could be blue, splash or mauve (only one mauve hen in the pen). All 8 siblings are either blue or splash, he’s the only one with this colouring. In person he looks reddish. Any ideas? These eggs were from a breeder, she had a specific breeding pen set up for them so there’s no way it came from a different rooster.

No idea, but it's adorable.

@EmmaRainboe will probably know

It's not right for any color of purebred Ameraucana, and the leg color is wrong, too. Probably an Easter egger.

Or had an olive egger project and got eggs mixed up.

What other birds did they have?

It’s an Easter Egger.

Could possibly be a wheaten. Too young to be sure. Chickens can have wheaten but have it hidden by their other colors.
