Just so you know, they won't be considered true Ameraucanas unless they exhibit and reproduce slate shanks.    I have not even seen the "buff mottles" yet, plan to pick them up at Fowl Fest time at John's place.

we've been getting shank legs in all our 3rd generation project "mottled" so far, but we still have a lot of work left to do with them, been a very fun project so far

  Okay that's great to hear.   I only mentioned it because of the foot showing in the photo - it does not look slate on my screen.   A little epidermal pigment does not make slate.
