Which one is the ameraucana chick? How can you tell? All i can see is maybe a little darker legs on one...

There is one lav ameraucana and two lav orphingtons here... trying to figure out whos who!!!

Welcome to the BYC flock! We are glad you joined us!

If you look at the last couple pictures, the chick on the right is your Ameraucana. The main way to tell is by the comb. Orps will have a single comb, whereas Ams have a pea comb.

Agreed

Yes, the one on the right.

The Orpingtons have single combs. The Ameraucana has a pea comb.

I am looking at the pictures on my phone...... Does the "Ameraucana" have muffs or a beard? I can't see any......

 

[showinbirds]

Ameraucanas have both, a beard and muffs.

I think its too young to see that... the comb and legs are very visible though..

Thanks for the verification!!

Muffs are noticeable as soon a chick is dried off. Those fluffy cheeks are hard to miss. I think your bird is clean faced, and that's one reason why Lavender Ameraucanas are still in the 'project' phase. Breeders are still working on things.
