What color do you think these Americauna/EE chicks will be?

Ack, saw a recent reply and didn't check the OP date. But a cool update to get, and hopefully helpful for others to have the before/after!

Agree. It reminded me to provide an update.

Chicks with a partridge gene (either e^b/e^b, or heterozygous with Wheaten) often have that mottled head and similar patterns on their wing feathers as they grow out. Wyandottes are a good example of chicks with partridge down patterns, though even their down pattern varies a lot depending on which color variant you're looking at.

This is good to know. Thanks for sharing.
