Does my Blue Ameraucana meet the standard?

This is Ashley, I was planning on showing her this fall and was wondering how close she is to the standard. She is around 6 months old.

I'm no expert on the Ameraucana breed, though I did breed them for a time. Are her eyes dark brown? They seem so in the pics. If that is the case, she should have reddish bay eyes. She has pretty color, decent lacing.

Her eyes are a darker brown with some red in the middle. Her father is a splash and has the reddish bay eyes, but I think her mother (black) may have dark brown. I'll have to check. Thankyou Speckledhen

Very nice color! Good looking beard as well!

She should not have too much of a "poof" on her backside, near her tail....Cochin or Orp like. If her tail is up, then it should not show too much.

All you can do is to try! Is the show APA approved?

Yep, I was planning on showing her at APA approved shows. She was preening herself so I think thats why the "poof" is there. It normally isnt like that
