Egg Color

Yes or no: Doesn\'t our Standard describe this breed as having BLUE eggs?

Guest:
Yes, actually it does.....but how many judges wait to see what color egg a bird lays?

I personnally feel that it should be amended to say \"tinted\".  But hey, you guys don\'t flog me for expressing a different view point.....LOL

Yes and No.  Both Standards mention that Ameraucanas lay blue eggs, but neither includes it in the breed descriptions as a characteristic to be judged.
The ABA does say a bird can be disqualified for laying an egg that has a color \"other than blue or a shade of blue\".
 

Guest:
then i sounds simple to me don,t show birds that lay off colored eggs,

Guest:
I have a better idea!
  How bout we only show cock birds?  Then the judges will never know........

Sorry, I don\'t mean to make lite of your stance...I just don\'t believe that it is realistic at this point to limit the breed to \"blue\" eggs.  Remember, this is a work in progress!
