As OC says splash is an acceptable colour but not yet showable as in order to breed blues you will get some black and some splash. I did not see any splash chicks amoungst yours.

You can show Splash Ameraucanas, I have done it, but they can't be placed higher then Best of Variety.
As Kenya says there are no Splash chicks in that group of your chicks.
Because of the yellow legs there is not much chance any of these birds will be any recognized color, but you will have fun watching them grow and change.
These are Blue, Black and Splash LF Ameraucana Chicks

I am sure Kenya has some pictures of her beautiful bantam Ameraucanas

Thats true I forgot you can show them under AOV, I don't have any pictures of my bantam chicks on this phone(new phone) but they don't look any different than OCs. Haven't hatched any out yet this year, probably put some in this month.

I just checked your pictures again, and the one who you marked as possibly Ameraucana (with the willow color legs) is probably going to be a "golden" partridge color, very attractive looking birds, look a bit like the Ester Eggers sold by Performance Poultry
This is a picture of Black Ameraucana male and two Ester Egger hens "gold partridge" sort of coloring.

It will be interesting to see what colours they turn out to be, I'm interested to see what the yellow chicks with pale spots will be. OC you could be right that chick has a more partridge chick down colour or the gold laced wyandotte chick down colour.

Thank you guys for your input on the little ones. I am glad for sites such as PTO that you can get so much help and support from. I really do appreciate it.

Ill try to keep pictures of them going as they grow and we will see what they turn into. :D
