I have not read any of the posts on this subject and maybe some are heavy handed, I don't know. It is never my intent to shoot people down, but not all judges have licenses. (I have never known why they call themselves judges) I am a long time general lic judge in the APA/ABA, Chair of the APA SOP Committee and member of the ABA judges lic committee.

Ameraucanas are one of the most misrepresented breeds sold by hatcheries.

I have looked at EM squared's website and here is my take on what I see. All of the young birds would be disqualified for incorrect plumage/type and /or leg color. The three older bantam birds would probably be OK...I can't see the type well enough to make a firm decision. The blue Wheaten hen looks to be a very good example of an Ameraucana bantam and she is in exceptional show condition.

Ameraucanas should lay blue shelled eggs, not green or greenish blue.

Walt,

Which picture are you referring to??? The ones I see all have green legs.​

The three older birds on her website (full grown bantams) The legs don't look green on my monitor....they look slate. Computer monitors are notorious for not showing the same color to each person unless you calibrate them daily and even then everyone who looks at the picture would need to re calibrate daily for consistency.

Can anyone tell me how my babies look?

Pics are on page 1114. We are interested in breeding and maybe showing in the future.

Thanks!
