Is this a true ameraucana?

[johnnalei]

So what are the giveaways that this isn't an ameraucana? I still don't know what to look for.

The girl you have isn't a recognized color for Ameraucanas so she's considered an EE.

Her legs are the wrong colour (should be slate). I don;t raise them, so am not sure of other specifics that would distinguish her a BEING an ameraucana, but she is definitely salmon coloured

I dont know anything about Ameraucanas But if you want blue eggs ( light blue ) you should try Cream Legbar If you can get them in over there ' If not aracanas ( blue eggs ) can be got in the UE but not sure if we can send them to the US
