Glad that you all like the buff ameraucanas! Just one note of concern from reading the earlier posts. You do not want to breed for willow green legs!!! NO, NO, NO!!! The slate (blue) legs are characteristic for the buff ameraucana and most of the other color varities of ameraucana, with the exception of the black variety. It is okay for the black variety to have the black legs. Although, I think like most of the original breeders of ameraucanas, we prefer that all of the color varieties have the blue/slate shanks(legs)! Johnny
