This pattern is the result of white-patterning genetics similar to those found in Paint varieties. While not an APA-recognized color, Ermine Ameraucanas retain full adherence to standard breed type: moderately sized, well-proportioned bodies, slate-colored legs, full tails, and the hallmark pea comb, beard, and muffs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction \u0026amp; Temperament:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eErmine Ameraucana hens are steady layers of medium-sized blue eggs, known for their calm, hardy, and personable demeanor.
