Ameraucana question

That's right, even if both parents are pure and a recognized color, if the chick is not a recognized color, then it is an EE.

I suppose if you wanted to call them 'non-standard ameraucana', that would be fine. But in the case of most, it's still an EE.

You might be able to get "true" Ameraucana varieties from the next generation. If you bred the 'F1' (white/wheaton) birds together, you would probably get some white birds, and maybe some wheatons. Probably a lot more off color birds too. Some breeders will make variety crosses to improve egg color, or beards, or leg color, or what ever. It may take a couple generations to get the proper color back.
