Will I be able to pass a silver wheaten Ameraucana off for a silver Americana at the shows?
Can you post a picture Harry? I am betting it would be hard to get one without red leakage??
Sorry, the hen or pullet would not be right but the cockerel or cock bird would be very similar except for the crow wing. I really don;t think many judges would pick up it at a show.
Harry, if it were a true silver Wheaten male, it would not have a crow wing. Neither Wheatens or Silvers (males) lack the wing triangle.
Thanks, Mike, I wasn't sure about the crow wing or not. So then a judge would not be able to tell the difference. I probably won;t end up with one for several years but at day old I will be able to tell by chick down. I have a couple of pullets that are a cross which are silver in color but breast is light colored and there is no borwnish coloring on the heads.
