Is my rooster a Purebred Ameraucana? Once again

[BigBlueHen53]

He's a beauty!
1. Do you have pb hens?
2. Do you sell hatching eggs?
3. Are you NPIP cetified and if not yet, do you plan to be?

Looks pure to me! Handsome boy.

 

[ShrekDawg]

He’s handsome!

Even with the leakage he does look pure Ameraucana!

Thank you! Now we'll just wait and see if any of his chicks end up without a beard or lay brown eggs!

I've had quite a few Ameraucanas in my time with chickens and he looks pure to me.

And nobody is gonna comment on how awesome his name is?

Here is moony.
I have made another thread about him before, but I'm checking again just for fun since he's grown a bit. He was hatched in an egg by someone else who rehome him to me. I've had mixed responses. Some said that he does look like a splash ameraucana, others say his coloring is too patchy and he's an EE. I don't care either way but I just thought I'd try to guess because I want to try to know what color eggs his offspring will lay. I have some pullet eggs due to hatch by the 29th and he's the only roo with our hens. The only obvious color leakage in him is one singular buff feather on his shoulder. His saddle feathers have a hint of amber/yellow but it's barely noticeable and mostly looks white.

He is 27 weeks old, so basically full grown already.
Any guesses appreciated!

Other than the very small rust spot that could be something foreign and not color I believe he meets APA standards.

I think there is a good chance this cockerel is carrying two blue egg genes.

If you really want to know if he has two blue egg genes, you can just get a genetic test.

Here is one place that can do it:

That would be much more accurate than trying to guess the egg color genes by looking at feather color and other traits that have nothing to do with the actual genes for egg color.

If you are going to raise his daughters anyway, and are willing to wait for your answers, there is not much reason to pay for the test. But if you just want to know the answer, it is generally cheaper to pay for the test than to raise enough pullets to laying age (feed, housing, care), plus the test is faster.
