EE, but still a beautiful bird. His legs are the wrong colour (should be slate, not yellow), he has a big single comb (Ameraucanas should have small pea combs) ...

Definitely not an Ameraucana, and not an EE either, unless he's a Legbar mix, which judging by his hen-pecked beard and muffs, he isn't. One of his parents was likely EE, the other something with a large single comb. Since he also has a single comb, he will father brown or white layers.

This forum is a very good place to look for a blue egg father. There are several reputable Ameraucana breeders that are members on this forum. Whereabouts are you located? I know of one breeder in particular in SE Ontario.

To me he looks like he has a leaf comb- which is a single bladed, shallow pointed (or whatever you call the pointy parts of a single comb) half pea/half single comb cross. Pea comb genetics are weird, this rooster could still throw some pea combed chicks when crossed with single combed hens.
