Not a AM.
That bird has a rose comb.
Ameraucana have pea combs, blue legs, beard, and muffs.

He maybe a silver penciled wyandotte that is just a little off.​

Not wyandotte either his legs are white.
Maybe wyandotte x EE cross?

I am thinking he is a silver spangled hamburg cross.

I agree. Only not sure he's a cross or just a poor quality.

Could somebody point out what makes you think silver spangled hamburg? Besides the the rose comb I don't see any silver spangled in him. Wheres the big white ear lobes and blue legs?

sliver spangled

I have seen hatchery birds with very bad coloration including wrong leg color for the breed. Wyandottes come in 3 silver colors. Silver laced, silver penciled, and columbian. he could be a bad version of one of those.

Daniel, the picture you have of one off of feathersite is a good quality rooster. The ones from the mass hatcheries rarely live up to their standard.
