Very welcome... if I were you, I would just enter him in a show and find out... besides, shows are really fun!
My girl here won Reserve Variety at the Dixie Classic in Knoxville last year, unfortunately I couldn't make it this year with her daughters...
It will be a markdown in judging is all... if his type is better than his competition, that will count for more...
Type is more important... *but* another thing is, each judge has their own preferences... one judge may favor different points of the bird over another judge...
All blues should be laced, actually... that blue is commonly called Andalusian Blue to differentiate it from Self Blue, and if you look at the breed Andausian, you will see how blue is really supposed to look... :)
Not my pics, just example... these are Andalusians... see the difference?
Not bad, actually... the only way to tell for sure though is to just enter him in a show...
Ameraucana cockerel tails should be 45° from the horizontal, lower is better than higher... squirrel tail is a major fault...
The only thing I see with him is his lacing is very minimal, but that is...
