Take this with a grain of salt - remember, I've only been breeding Ameraucanas for 5 years! Personally, my pick would be scflock's cockerel, BUT neither of them have any major issues and the few I noted above are not show stoppers and can be managed with good breeding selections.
Got it guys!
Here's my babies! Max snapped this shot and sent it to me last night!
