Told He Was an Ameraucana

You are not finding Lemon Blue Ameraucanas because they don’t exist. There is Wheaten, and there is Blue Wheaten. Lemon Blue also exists, but within other breeds. Your handsome boy also isn’t an Ameraucana, he is an Easter Egger. Easter Eggers are mixed heritage birds (mutts) that carry the blue egg gene. Easter Eggers are not showable.

un-kay....well, we wont be stressing him with the fair non-sense then. I'll have fun seeing the result of the cross with the orphingtons though. Around this red-neck-ville, the people are honest...but they honestly don't know what breed their chicken is. But now I'm wiser. Thanks everybody.

Many local fairs will accept Easter Eggers, but they are not accepted at an APA sanctioned show.
You can't judge a bird's quality without a Standard.
