Well, his mother being a White Ameraucana just puts everything together. I was figuring the mother was a white EE though, since most White Ameraucanas are recessive white, not dominant white.

To answer the columbian question - Yes. He's partial columbian, so he got, as would happen, one allele, making him just as "columbian" in appearance as a New Hampshire or Rhode Island Red.

ok i guess his mother must not be pure after all, what would i get if i breed him to a hen like the one i posted in the last pic?

One of these 2 EE's was is father and the BYCer I got the eggs from had one running with an EE flock and the other with a mixed layer flock. She was not breeding for anything special ~ he was just the luck of the draw.

Sounds like a purebred to me, then. I have heard both sides of the story on recessive vs dominant white Ameraucanas, really.
