Can purebred black ameraucanas have any white on them?

Yes…it is, but his leakage, faulty comb, and incorrect body shape make him clearly impure.

Do you own ameraucanas?

I own EEs. I know one when I see one.

I own EEs. I know one when I see one.

I do too, they are my favorite breed, but I havent researched Ameraucanas yet. If its obvious (like wattles in an ameraucana) I could tell, but usually, I stay out of breed identifications. Just because its a lot to remember

It definitely is! My brain hurts

He's 17 weeks old in this picture. He has a little red in his neck feathers and a bit of white near his comb. Those colors have already faded a lot though. I'm extremely happy with him. He's such a well behaved rooster.

He’s an Easter egger. He’s impure for the beard and pea comb genes. That, combined with his leakage, makes me think he isn’t an ameraucana.

Thanks for the info everyone.

I did think his comb looked off, but never really researched it. I wouldn't exchange him for any other chicken, he's perfect as he is.
