There are Ameraucauna's that is a "true" breed. Hatcheries sell Americanas (notice it's spelled with an "i") and they are really Easter Eggers. Easter Eggers are considered "mutts" and not a true breed (although Easter Eggers are one of my favorites). Its when people or hatcheries sell Easter Eggers and advertise them as Ameraucauna's or Araucaunas....they are the true breed that is recognized as true. So basically, they are false advertising when they are not truly selling a pure breed chicken.
Nothing at all wrong with the Easter Eggers....I just figure to call it what it is
