What kind of chick did I hatch

[barbielynn]

This is the cutest chick I have ever seen! It's almost all gray. This was my first time incubating eggs. Any ideas what if could be? I have an Ameraucana rooster; Barred rock, Buff Orpington, Silver Laced Wyandotte, and Australorp hens.

you have a mixed breed. The only way you would get a purebred chick is getting an ameraucana hen, since the only rooster is an ameraucana rooster

So if the Ameraucana rooster is your only rooster (this is my understanding...) than obviously its part that... and I would say I am kinda torn between it being a Barred Rock and a Silver Laced Wyandotte, but I think its closter to the Barred Rock... I am not a chicken expert though so I could be wrong.

I think the mother was australorp. What color Ameraucana is your rooster?

I agree, it's adorable.

Can you post a picture of your rooster? Or, if he's a true Ameraucana and fits one of the recognized colors you can just say what color he is.

I think we can rule out the Orpington, and probably the Wyandotte. It's either a sex link female from the Rock or a either gender from the Aussie.

I was thinking austrolorp for the mom. I was thinking mixing slate legs with yellow would give you more of a green colored leg. This chick has slate colored

Here's my rooster. Sorry took so long. I have 4 youngsters so don't get much free time!
