Yes Any words of wisdom?
Have you upgraded your Adobe/windows recently? The error might be an incompatibility error....thought I saw "font" in the error message. If all your updates are current have you deleted your temporary internet files recently? Sometimes those darn Temp files screw up things big time....sometimes they don't....but it hurts nothing to delete them and speeds up your online d/l's.

There's been some discussion of non-standard colored Ameraucanas. This 18 week old pullet is from two Ameraucana parents, and I toe punced her as an EE. What color is she? [It's a very dark day here, sorry about that.]

Sorry Illia, not even close. Her daddy was a White, her mother was a Blue, but obviously not carrying the proper color genetics.

Then BOTH parents were hiding improper genes.
Anything x a solid E/E bird would create a black (or blue in this case) bird with lots of gold smudging/pencilling, but certainly not the color shown there. The most you could do is a blue/black bird with color in the breast, neck, head, and a little in the shoulders and thighs, but that there is definitely Wheaten influenced, and Wheaten is recessive to E/E.
Seems like both parents were hiding either one e+/e+ or one E/E.

This one popped out of a Blue/Blue cross.

I've found many unexpected colors hiding under white; and knew there had been a history of one red headed white, and occasiionally a lone red feather, cropping out of a very nice flock of Whites mine [now deceased] came from............... and they didn't come cheap. I did not expect this one, however, as a possibility. Test breeding has prooven very few [possibly none] of the Ameraucana varieties I've owned to be carrying the correct genetics; or perhaps I should say the genetics I was looking for. The test of the White did indicate it might be carrying silver, which I was looking for, but probably only one copy if he did. I really have no idea what had to combine to create this pullet, but the worst colored of her siblings only have a bit of red, silver, or gold bleed on the males.

Yes, daddy had/has gold/silver leakage in his hackles.
