Ameraucana or EE?

[seymore0626]

I have a no tail, green legged, hawk-billed hen that lays a blue egg. What does she sound like, EE or Amerancuna?

Do you have a pic? Does she have tufts? Beard and muffs? From what I am understanding from everyone, the green legs make them an EE. But, it says nothing about leg color on the Ameraucana Breed Standards page. I am soooo very confused. If it has no tail, it is not an Ameraucana according to the standards. The Araucana has no tail. But, does she meet the other Aracauna standards? Sorry, I am really no help am I?

This link says eggs can be blue, green, or brown and be an Ameraucana????????????????????? https://www.backyardchickens.com/breeds/ameraucanas.html

My girls have pea combs, slate legs, beards, muffs, and lay green eggs. As far as I can figure, it is only that they are not a recognized color that puts them in the EE category.

Incorrect. Many recognised breeds, including araucanas, have green legs. Sounds to me like seymore's bird is an araucana. FWIW, you will find many true araucanas with tails and without tufts; they are useful for breeding, just can't be shown.​
