Pure Ameraucana?

[BigMM]

Hello everyone! I recently purchased a few pure Ameraucana pullets, I want to confirm that they look true to breed. Thanks!

First my disclaimer: I am learning and do NOT profess to have any real experience! (Except, of course, having had the pleasure of Snowflake's company for awhile and her genes throughout my current flock. See my avatar at left

That said, I went in search of info that might confirm or deny your birds are Ameraucanas. (Oh BTW, congrats on using the correct spelling!)
The American Poultry Association publishes 'standards' they look for in certain accepted breeds, including Ameraucanas. I've listed them below, with the link. But bottom line, you know they are Ameraucanas when: 1) they lay blue eggs, 2) they have a pea comb, and 3) they have muffs and beards, but NO ear tufts.

Pretty birds. What color are their legs?

They’re black, but they came from mint eggs. Still hope they end up laying blue.

They look fine for purebreds, but the mint colored eggs might indicate otherwise. Another thing to look at is skin color, which shows if you look at the undersides of the feet. White/pinkish white is what Ameraucanas should have. Easter eggers should have yellowish color in that area.

Their tail shape is not quite right, but overall not bad. Maybe hatchery quality ameraucanas?

I thought the same, too low? When they’re not roosting their tails are more upwards. They came from a woman who bought a fertilized dozen— 4/12 hatched from mint green eggs, she wanted blue layers, assuming they would lay green like the eggs they came from she sold them.
