Unsure if this is a scam bird, could you help?

Lavender chickens are definitely Grey in color. So who named the color is color blind.

They have a purple hint. Especially when they're used in isabel

the silver araucana is definitely photoshopped.

What makes you say so?

I have years of experience (a long time ago, but still...) using Photoshop professionally. I do believe at least the silver colored rooster is photoshopped into the photo, if not both of them.
1. It's obviously a muddy run and not well kept - see the mud splashed all over the little shed. But their feet and toenails are pristine?
2. I'm not convinced about the angle of shadows and light. It's a cloudy day and shadows are soft, but some just seem off, maybe. Like it appears the light on the shed is coming from upper right, but on the birds it's more upper left.
3. I have never seen such perfectly smooth, rounded tail feathers. There should be more little bits sticking out here and there, and around the neck, too. It's highly pixelated, so it's hard to tell.
4. There is a slight halo around the edges of the birds - some dark, some light, some greenish. Definitely has been some color correction happening, if not pasted images.
5. Aha... zoom in to the pixels on the far left side, about the middle of the shed and front rooster's chest at the top of his wing. Do you see it? There's a clear splice in the photo.
6. There's some weird greenish tint to the ground between and behind the roosters. It's especially noticeable as a halo around the rear rooster's legs. More evidence of color correction.
7. I can't make out much from the hens' photo, but have their tails been trimmed straight? Is that a common practice?

There was a post on FB with this beautiful rooster. I and a few others commented on wanting eggs from this bird in the Spring. They only comment once to the first poster saying “okay”

They posted in both a New York poultry page and a Texas page. I believe they might be a scammer based on searching their profile.

My question is, anyone know if this really is a silver duckwing araucana? Or if that’s a real thing? Because id like to find a real breeder if so

That they aren't saying they're Australian Araucanas is the biggest warning to me personally. If I had those, I'd be crowing it out because it's so uncommon here. And the eggs, which should only be blue.

You could always ask if they have any up close photos of specific birds or videos. If they have those, odds are better that they at least own the birds.

Look at the edges of the feathers . You might not be able to see it from far away, but you can see white if you look really closely . Also, look at the lighting .

I'm not seeing anything white on her feathers. Same with the lighting, but that could just be because my screen is small

I'm using a laptop. I had to save the photos to my desktop, then open them in a photo editing program to zoom in really close.

If it's photoshoped your looking at the edges and color balance of the object and the background.

Hard to compare because it's so very pixellated. But I agree, that would be proof.

Do you mean the isabel araucana?

Just for reference can you tell this was photoshopped? LOL
