Ameracauna Rooster x non-Ameracauna hens

[Ameracauna Morning]

Hello! I am wanting to start hatching some eggs, but am unsure about what outcomes I could have and if feather sexing would be a possibility with my combos.

I have a Blue Wheaton Ameracauna (Heritage bred) rooster and a handful of hen breeds (see below).

• Hen Breeds
  • Golden Comet
  • Rhode Island Red
  • Silver Laced Wyandotte
  • Brown Leghorn
  • Black Sex-link
  • Olive Egger
  • Blue Wheaton Ameracauna

What sort of color combinations should I expect to see with these crosses?

I am assuming all will be a sort of Easter Egger, but other than that, I am not sure what colorings to expect. I understand the egg genetics side of it, but the coloring I am unsure of due to the mixes that I have.

Also, is feather sexing an option with these combos? If not, at what age and/or what technique should I be able to tell the difference?

Thanks!

Golden comet (assuming they are homozygous for Columbian)

Rhode Island Red

Silver laced Wyandotte (these are sexlinks with males hatching with silver laced-ish down and females gold laced-ish down)

Brown Leghorn: a weird intermediate of gold wheaten and gold duckwing.
Black sex link

Olive Egger: you're going to have to be more specific about the color of the olive egger.

Blue wheaten Ameraucana: half wheaten, half blue wheaten offspring.

Thank you for the response!

As for the Olive Egger, I have attached a photo of her from when she was younger.

Do you have any insight on the sexing aspect?

The Wyandotte would produce sexlinks.

Your Olive Egger appears to be blue barred.
So she would also produce sexlinked offspring:
Blue barred and black barred sons, and blue and black daughters. They would all have leakage (like a black sex link) of course.

Her colors are so pretty!!!

What characterizes the incomplete possibilities? I am not sure what that means in terms of coloring.

For the ones that would produce sex-linked offspring, I would be able to sex them after hatching, correct? Would I sex the OE crosses based on wing feathers or down color?

She is a stunning girl! She is one of our favorites (shhhh... don’t tell the rest ).

Incomplete means the pattern is messy because those patterns consist of different genes and when these genes are heterozygous they do not produce the same pattern as a pure, homozygous bird.

Sex them based on down color. Barring doesn't always show up on blue feathers but blue barred should still have the head spots.
