Thought I'd post all the above together to highlight a point and then I missed the last one somehow but somebody finally mentioned that this is a "Splash Wheaten". I know Jerry in all probability meant "Splash Wheaten" but said "Splash". I only point this out because as someone who's followed this thread for like 5 years, I know how easily people get confused and many wouldn't know the difference between a Splash from a BBS and a Splash Wheaten from a WBS. So, in the interest of keeping confusion to a minimum, it's might be best if birds are referred to by their proper name. Not being critical and hoping this makes sense.

And btw, I would like to see a close up of that comb.

God Bless,

Does "WBS" mean wheaten, blue wheaten, and splash?

 

[Tailfeathers]

Wheaten, Blue Wheaten, Splash Wheaten. Not Splash.

Sorry for the picture quaility! I found on here and on a breeders website, a Blue Splash Wheaten that looked like ours, is there any legitimacy to that ? I also met his dad who has the same weird comb and was a Blue Wheaten Ameraucana and I know he came from a bright blue egg...that's all! Hope that helps a little! Thank you for your expertise!!

I am NOT an expert and have only had ameraucanas for 3 years.

From the look of the comb (width/redness) on a 6 week old chick I would say cockerel.

Hi Phage, Thank you so much for your help! I kind of wondered if it might be since I had been reading some of the posts about the combs.
I do appreciate your help very much!
