Roo - Ameraucana but...

[GWGF]

bought as a chick from a local breeder. I'm questioning the small brown flecks he has mixed in. He doesn't have very many but he's not a solid black. Would he be DQ'd for them? Thoughts? I guess I'm asking if I should still call him an ameraucana or if he should be an EE :/

He is pretty. My ameracaunas all have pea combs..yours looks like a single comb.

Thanks! I didn't know there was a section for them. I found it and posted over there

that looks like a mix between a pea comb and a single comb to me. he is probably an ee instead

yours should look like this when grown but i wouldnt breed him due to the comb and the brown coloring (note what the comb looks like)

better image of what comb should look like (brown/red)

He's an EE, not pure for pea comb. There is a single combed bird in his background.

Not the best advice to post the same question elsewhere. One thread on a subject is all that is allowed by BYC rules, folks.
