Purchased 11 beautiful chicks (from a breeder on the Breeder\'s page) and wanted to compare them to others chicks their age..Does anyone have good pictures of Black or Blue Ameraucana chicks that are around 6-8 weeks old..

And are  Splash chicks Easter Eggers?  I think I have one in the bunch..

No, I don\'t think anybody considers them as easter eggers.
They have all the Ameraucana characteristics and, unlike easter eggers and even blues and blue wheatens, do breed true for color pattern.  While not recognized by the Standards, they are useful for producing 100 percent blue offspring when mated with blacks.
