Pure a Blue Ameraucana?!

[FeatherTay]

So, I just got a pretty cockerel. Hatch date: April 29th.
She said it was an Ameraucana. (she even spelled it right)
I asked how much, and she threw me off when she said $10. I almost literally jumped in my car and picked home up.
How does he look? Also, does he look pure?

He looks pure.

Full discloser, I am not good with standards, I do not even own the book. BUT. If there is one breed I know anything about in terms of standards, it is Ameraucanas.

his tail is too round, and his comb is a bit too large at the back. His lacing on the feathers is gorgeous though.

Hold... I have a post that might help.

Thank you. Do you think his tail could become “less” round as he ages?

Oh sorry. I missed his hatch date. I suppose it could potentially. I'm not sure though.

Looks good, I breed ameraucana bantams, but Ive had LF in the past. I'd be proud to own him, looks like some good genetics

He looks purebred to me as well and he is a very good looking boy! I think you got him
for a steal at only 10 bucks.

Agree. He is absolutely gorgeous.

Tay, the person you got him from, does she sell eggs?

She got his egg from Living The Church Life based in Nebraska I believe. They sell eggs. Then she hatched him at her house.

Yeah I had gotten another Ameraucana Cockerel about a month back, and the women I got him from asked $40 for one of them. I wasn’t really in the budget for one, so she agreed to sell me one for $20. She didn’t want to sell me a blue one for 20, so she gave me a black one. I was fine with it, as I had wanted one forever.
A couple weeks later I realized how his beak stayed just a bit open all the time, and his face was always messy.

Yes I will agree it was a bit stupid of me to not realize it earlier, but It was not very great of her to give me him knowing he had crossbeak. People sometimes.
