Question about Ameraucanas

[ChickenCrazy1608]

Does anyone know what would happen if I bred a silver Ameraucana hen with a brown red Ameraucana roo? Would the babies be Easter Egger looking (anything under the sun, broken kinda coloring, random) or would they be silver or brown red? I am wondering because they are my only ameraucanas at this time, and the hen is getting older and might not lay next year.

Well, those are both Easter Eggers anyway. Not Ameraucanas. The male is red partridge or red duckwing, the female is red silver duckwing. Bred together you'd get sexlinks. Gold/silver heterozygote males (appearing silver as chicks) and red females. The chicks would be duckwing and maybe partridge.

Thank you for the info!
