@MIAMI LEGHORN, have you had anything unusual happen in a breeding project?

That's all I've had available at the beginning, yes. But still, I only used the best out of those birds I had.The parents breeds were mostly hatchery birds, right?
I’ve seen plenty of BA, BR, and BO pullets with a body type like your pullet, and several hatchery BO roosters with a type like your rooster. Even if the parent birds you used had different types, hatchery birds aren’t bred for consistency, so their body shape isn’t locked in their genetics.That's all I've had available at the beginning, yes.

My pullets body looks more like my Red JungleFowl hybrids in body shape, & the rooster has a similar body shape to an american game. That's why I used that description.I’ve seen plenty of BA, BR, and BO pullets with a body type like your pullet, and several hatchery BO roosters with a type like your rooster.

I wouldn’t really call it a “game” type, more of a light hatchery layer body type.
I’ve heard that ameraucana breeders often call mixed color ameraucanas Easter eggers. Personally, I would just call them mixed color ameraucanas, but I’m not a breeder.Also, I have a curious question. If you mixed different colored Ameraucanas, & get funky colors, would they still be considered Ameraucanas, or Easter Eggers?
