Cool. i was thinking he could be a Barnevelder or Partridge, so i thought i might have to wait and see what color the babies eggs were.... geez that would be a long wait!

 

[buck431397]

You don't know. Unless you breed him with a hen. It's impossible to tell if they carry the blue egg gene just from looking at the bird.

what a pretty americana!

Yep he is a VERY handsome Easter Egger!

AMs have slate legs, but if he WERE a true AM he would probably be Wheaten.

So that begats the question: what color eggs will his babies lay? their momma was a RIR. that is, if they are even girls.....
