Just to throw it out there (I'm not trying to correct you

) I recently purchased some birds from an Ameraucana breeder, he told me they were not show quality. They all have slate black legs, Two of them lay green and one lays tiny blue eggs! EE can have slate/black legs, it totally stumped me but I love my birds all the same.

Allele?

Yes. The Araucana's tufts are a lethal trait when an embryo inherits two copies of the tufted gene. One copy results in a tufted bird; two copies results in a dead embryo. Ameraucanas and Easter Eggers have muffs, which are not a lethal trait.

Sounds like perhaps you are doing some research on the internet?
