I agree that stringy Amerauacana is not so great but neither is Silkied Ameraucana. Unfortunately It's confusing and misleading to people
And since when do they have to be called by their official feather type???
If you recall on the original thread we had people calling them by several names- Fluffy Ameraucana, Silkied Ameraucana, Silk Ameraucana, Silky Ameraucana, Hookless Ameraucana etc...
I think we all as a group- including Jubaby- should collectively agree on a distinctive name for them. Lets not forget that these birds originated with her and without her we would not have them!
And personally I don't see why we couldn't get these accepted as a variety of Ameraucana considering they are Ameraucanas! Even with the differences in feather type when you look at a flock of these birds it's easy to see they are the same breed- just a little furrier.
Aside from feathering lets work on keeping all traits true to an Ameraucana and getting more of these beauties out to be loved. I myself now have a nice size flock of these in Lavender and Black and plan on sharing
