Ok, so I do have a question. Not jumping on anyones tail or anything. But I hear all the time about pet quality and show quality. If an Ameraucana is bred with an Ameraucana, its an Ameraucana. If you breed a Silkie to a Silkie, it a Silkie. If a Silkie does not meet the standard it is then dubbed "pet quality", right? So why is a pure bred Ameraucana that doesnt meet the standard considered a EE and not a "Pet Quality Ameraucana"?
Also anyone that sells day olds, week olds, chicks in general. You dont know what they will look like when they are fully feathered or if they will lay the right color egg. So if a seller sells a chick that doesnt meet standard when they are grown, does that mean they were decieving? How are you to know what they will look like? Should all Ameraucana breeders wait until they are grown to sell them to know what color they are, what color egg they lay, etc?
