Would these Blue Andalusians be disqualified?

[CaramelKittey]

Hi all! We were recently gifted a breeding pair of blue Andalusians by a friend. After some closer inspection, there’s a few traits that make me worry if they can be shown, or even if they can be called blue Andalusians. Their ear lobes are very red, and their feet/legs looks like they’re the wrong color. What do you think?
Thanks in advance!

Their feathers and combs seem to be in poor condition. After a molt, I'm sure the feathers will be fine. I'm not familiar with the breed, so I wouldn't know whether or not they are blue Andalusians.

They definitely aren't show quality. They are supposed to have whiter earlobes, the hens feathers are a bit frayed and some are miscolored, and their feather coloring is dull.

I would think they would be disqualified in the APA shows here for shank color alone. Add the lobe color, small combs and incorrect shape and they would surely be.

Thanks all! We just got them so hopefully after some TLC their feathers will be in better condition. Sounds like you won’t be seeing this pair in any shows!

Do you think they would be accepted into any 4-H shows?

The ear lobes in the male are a clear disqualification as they should be enamel white over at least 2/3's of the surface and considerably larger than expressed by him. The shank color is off as well. Bridgette Riddle of Montana has some really nice Blue Andalusians.

Even at 4-H shows, they will probably be DQed for lobe and shank color.
I really haven’t seen any blue Andalusians in WI. It’s cool to hear that they’re out there.

I don't think they are Andalusians at all. They look like one of the popular blue hybrids the hatchery's have been selling.
