Those would be Easter Eggers.Americanas are americaunas bread back with the araucana
And have completely different color patterns. I have a few of all 3 breeds
I even ended up with a rumpless Americana from tractor supply which I’ve never even seen before but it’s a beautiful bird.My Easter eggers are Orpington/americauna and I have 1 that’s black copper Maran/americauna
My Easter Eggers lay olive and pink eggs
YupI read all this info on the Murrays website. All my americanas have beards and muffs and my Easter eggers some do and don’t
But yes americauna and Americana are different breeds or different mix breeds.
Could you post an example? I haven't seen that before.Pullets combs are darker red than cockerels in my experience
Lol no I think I wrote it wrong maybe
Hatcheries are breeding araucana with americauna to get Americanas
'Americanas' and 'americaunas' aren't breeds. They are just different words hatcheries use to describe easter eggers. Hatcheries breed easter eggers by doing EE x EE breedings and probably occasionally throwing in different breeds to increase egg laying, like leghorns and welsummers, which would explain why more and more EEs have no beard and lay white or brown eggs.I read all this info on the Murrays website.

Looks like a pullet so far.Let's be honest I feel silly to be unsure at this point but Ameraucanas just leave me scratching my head...
This is exactly what I was telling him.Could you post an example? I haven't seen that before.

If you're sure you have purebred ameraucanas, do they have slate legs, lay blue eggs, and are a recognized color variety?
