Does this ameraucana have 'correct' coloring?

Slate (blue/grey) or if it is a black bird, it can have black legs.

I've got one that could be it's twin. About the same size too. Bought from the local feed store, but came from Mt Healthy Hatchery. Sold as Araucanas, but an obvious EE. The other two that came with her are different colors, but all three have the willow green legs. Two have ear muffs and one is clean faced. All three of mine are very friendly birds and growing faster than the three Speckled Sussex that I bought at the same time.

Well obviously the breeder is full of it then, lol! All I really want are blue eggs so either way it makes me happy...

Well... his true ameraucana looks very similar to my EE's

There is no Ameraucana coloring that matches my chickens or the hen he has pictured -he's selling easter eggers that came from blue eggs. One of my EE hens (pictured below) lays the bluish egg in my avator, the other one lays one of the green eggs pictured (I have a third that laid the other green egg, but she has different coloring and is not in the photos).

Edited to say: Actually, this is my EE that lays the light blue egg (the two above lay the green eggs):

It looks like you have an Easter Egger not an Ameracauna....just my opinion. Your bird looks exactly like my Easter Egger....who is about 6 weeks old in this photo. This bird is my favorite from the entire flock.

Here are pics of my bird:

Hope this helps.

Judging from the chick pics in ad, the birds are partridge based(eb). If partridge color is not listed as one of the standardized colors.. it's not an amer. Also seems legs are green.. another no-no for amers.

Kind of seems the person may have assumed blue eggs/not tufted/rumpless= amer.. with emphasis on the egg color. Does seem the eggs could be a nice blue shade so that's a good find anyways.
