Was someone out there wanting a lavender cockerel?

I have one of your lavendar cockerels, that my sister gave me. I am looking for black pullets,or hens.

I have just 4 Ameraucanas, 1 cockerel and 3 pullets. Thought I'd post pics for critique:

Here is a 9-month old pair of blues:

Here is a black, 5-1/2 months old:

And a blue from the same breeder, same age:

Head shot:

Would love to get opinions on these birds. Thanks for looking.

Tufts, as in Aracana ear tufts? No, I think they are muffs. Look just like the ones on the Ameraucana club site, far as I can see. I have not seen a splash Ameraucana, I thought the last one was just a light blue. I know the blue color can vary considerably. Anybody have pics of Ameraucana splash colors I can see for comparison?

I think maybe he meant on their heads.

Yes, I wondered about that, part of the reason I posted the pics. Is that a DQ? Those birds were supposed to have come from great stock....
