true that is why the issue is complicated I myself consider, I think most due, splash ameraucanas pure ameraucanas but agruments, not great ones, can be made against that.​

Looks like an Easter Egger to me. And not in the "a Marans got into the mix" but simply a "you bought an Easter Egger and was told it was an Ameraucana" sense.

He's got green legs, which Cuckoo Marans would not pass on, and he's got the standard Easter Egger coloring of dominant white over duckwing.

why doesn't tha APA accept splash and the ABA does like it did with Splash silkies? why haven't we done this with Splash ameraucana bantams?

And he's a rooster.

Probably because the feathering on Silkies makes it blend in so much it hardly matters anyway . . . ? I don't think any other splash bantam are accepted, are they?

His neck.

It is like that, also, because he is a boy.

I didn't think that splash was accepted in any breed, including silkies. But I could be wrong.

I'm not sure. But they won't accept it because of the actual splashing pattern? I didn't know this, I'm not sure why. I've never owned a splash bird...
