Is my rooster a Purebred Ameraucana? Once again

Thank you! Very helpful.

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

That's great! I was expecting hatchery quality and that's fine by me!

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

Thanks. I think so too.

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.

I might do it. Thank you very much.
