Pretty sure these two are wrong. Ameraucana's have beards, and don't have eartufts, those are araucana's...... if I remember correctly.....

Okay I can't get it to let me write on your image, but at the bottom the Et//Et is wrong because those are Eartufts, and you need to add a beard by changing mb+//mb+ to Mb//Mb

I think......

That is what I thought, but in your ameraucana it had ear tufts and no beard so I just went with that.

You can't really. There is no fibro gene down there. But you can click the "add gene" function. It is a dominant gene, but you can't see it unless a bird has id+, so it kinda doesn't work well with how the calculator works.
