Hi everybody, Thanks to John, I can post pics!!!
this is our FIRST BORN from our blue/black/splash breeding program..
\"He\" is about 7 days old in this pic, father is our blue Ameraucana roo and Squawk, a black ameraucana hen. (We think squawk oriinally came from Paul smiths line)
please.... constructive criticism.. i think he will be blue...i hope!

Never saw a blue chick colored like that. Those black wing feathers and the brown on the head indicate something else is going on. Best to wait and see what develops.

I agree with Mike, it looks like someone else sneeked in to the coop to spend a little time with your gal. :p

Mike and Jean are right. Check the photos of day-old Chicks on the Photos page and you\'ll see he/she doesn\'t match any of the varieties.
How about photos of the cock and hen?

Looks like someone had fun that didn\'t belong. Once I was shocked to have a tufted chick pop out of an orp egg, apparently my Araucana roo someone got where he didn\'t belong. :o

thank you everyone for your advice! I think that the problem is with the roo.. don\'t have decent pic of roo since molt, but I am attaching a pic of the mamma, Squawk.. i don\'t see anything in her that is incorrect, altho she is not a huge hen, rather petite..
she has slate legs (altho pic is cut off).. she has nice muffs and beard, curved beak, correct tail carriage
I will try to get pics of roo this afternoon!
