How do you judge Ameracaunas? I have some and they all look great to me. Is it by the size of the muff and beard, or comb?

I know there is a SOP but what seperates a great bird from a champion bird?

Newbie question I saw these really pretty almost bright red eggs does anyone know what chicken lays those color eggs and do all ameraucana's lay blue eggs even the red/brown ones I know these sound like dumb questions but I am just starting on raising chickens and have a lot to learn thanks for all the help with answering all my questions.

I do believe that all varties of Ameraucana are required to lay blue or bluegreen eggs. I don't know what bird layed the bright red egg Marans and Wellsummers lay tarracota and dark brown eggs.
