By speckles, are you referring to the center of the feather. One thing to remember is your blues carry either solve or gold the mix of the two would cause the cream, so it is possible that your blues carry gold.

That would be my guess. The Blue Ameraucana carries at least one copy of sex linked gold, and that is why your "speckles" that would otherwise be white are creamy. The speckled cockerel would be split for silver and gold.

Thank you! So I don't want to use him because I would get some gold on solid blues that are also split?

I will try and get one this weekend. He is camera shy. I have another one that I need to get pics of. All I have is my cell phone right now, my "real" camera's battery died. It is interesting.
