Well, they do if you buy them from Murray McMurray..that’s all I can say..maybe my description of the leg color is incorrect, but, my girl is very similar to a pic from their site, and, I’ve identified all my others as Whiting True Blues..unless I’m mistaking the girl I call Lavender for the Ameraucana, and this one as a true blue, but, from what McMurray told me, I think I’m correct. They say their Ameraucana have different colorations. Also, the Ameraucana breeder site says slate or even black legs also..

here’s a pic from that..mine isn’t bantam, but, close coloration..
and yes ..roosters are awesome..I just wish my neighborhood would allow them!
I know ameraucanas come in silver, buff, wheaten, blue wheaten, splash wheaten, blue, black, splash, white, brown red, and self blue. However, your hen matches none of these colors. The pictures you’ve posted and the ones in that article are all pictures of EEs, and don’t match any varieties of ameraucana. The thread about leg color mentions that willow (green) legs are a fault, though chicks sometimes hatch with slightly off colored legs and the color changes once they’ve grown in their feathers.Check above post..Ameraucanas have many accepted colorations..
Here is a gallery showing the varieties of ameraucanas from their breed club website: http://ameraucanabreedersclub.org/gallery.html. You can see that brown red is actually black with red in the hackles (in the case of hens).
