Crowing
Exciting! The silver lavender especially to me- the males of that color are such a beautiful, light shade. Gray shades and silver work really well together. The hens are stunning as well.Man I can't wait till I get my Silver hatching eggs from GypsyHen. Then I can get my project going and I'll have my favorite color of Ameraucanas!
Projects are: silver lavender and blue golden duckwing. Nether are SOP but who cares they are the colors I love and I'll be breeding the body type to SOP.
They’re lovely! I’d say Sammy is a Blue wheaten, since her tail is blue. Tail & wing color is really the best way to determine that- splashes having white tails, blues having blues, and wheatens having black tails.This is Sunny and Sammy!View attachment 3731088
I think Sunny is a splash wheaten, and Sammy (second picture) should be either wheaten, blue wheaten, or splash wheaten, but apparently her colouring is weird and more partridgey? I don’t know. But they are ameraucanas.

They hatched in July. We live in Canada where the days are still pretty short, so they aren’t laying yet, but I expect they’ll start in the next month or two.
she is dark, but still within the realm of possible for a blue wheaten. I have a few pullets who are fairly dark and reddish colored, and one who shows hackle markings like she does. The hackle markings aren’t ideal, but I’ve been told the exact shade of wheaten a hen isn’t doesn’t matter so much as the evenness of her pattern. As long as she started out solid yellow/white, at least.
