I have always heard, that type is first, if you get that down,
then you can work on the colour.
In any breed the type is priority in my opinion, that means to me
that they meet the standard, in body type, shank and foot colour,
comb, eye color, head, tail carriage, etc... The colour or variety is next, and with proper breeding, and culling out what you don\'t want or need, you can come up with what you want.....I\'m too lazy, and there are some many exceptional breeders of, in this case Ameraucana, that I think,
(for me) to start with a variety that are available, I just don\'t
like to have to cull if the variety is available. My space is limited for the birds. It would be great to be able to start with AOV and
work to what you might want to get \"standardized\".
Just some of my thinking.
