What cross is my new Hen?

[micheleOOF]

Hello!
I just got my new hen and I was told she is a ameraucana golden Wyandotte cross. I'm not completely sure if it's true or not. Any guesses on what color eggs she will lay? Brown or blue/green? Really hoping for some color!

I'd say the breed parentage seems correct. Since I understand that Wyandottes lay light brown, she could lay green eggs, or light brown eggs - 50/50 chance of either. This is based on the assumption that both parents were "pure" breeds.

See the Punnett Square in this link - https://scratchcradle.wordpress.com/2012/07/08/gms2-breeding-for-blue-eggs/

It depends on if the parent was an actual Ameraucana, or if it was an Easter Egger. If it was an actual Ameraucana, the eggs are blue, so blue x brown eggs.

Here's a handy chart

If it's an Easter Egger labeled as an Ameraucana, then you might not even have blue egg genetics in the mix - it could he white, pink or green instead.

I have no idea what the parents were. But she sure is pretty!
