abbreviations and pronunciation

OK, what are the correct pronunciations of wyandotte and ameraucana or araucana?

and

what does OEGB (chicken breed) stand for?

Thanks, all you smart people out there!!!

Ameraucana is pronounced Amer-ah-cana, which is way it is often misspelled Americana. I only found out myself after asking someone here!

Araucana in OUR house is pronouced A-roo-cana, but I've also heard it pronounced A-rah-cana, so I think either could be right.

As for your other questions, I'll have to leave those to some other expert!

How do you pronounce cochin? The lady at the feedstore in Moreland, GA says "coo-chin". I don't know if thats just her middle Georgian accent!

 

[CarriBrown]

It's pronounced c-oh-chin.
