You're welcome.

People selling Easter Eggers as pure Ameraucana is just a marketing scheme.

Also sold in similar names: Americana, & Ameracana.

In other words, EEs are just colorful egg laying, mixes.

Agreed, easter egger cockerel. That color matches nothing in the Ameraucana breed, and the green legs are a dead give away.

ETA: in addition, because he's cross beaked, I wouldn't breed him. that can be passed on.
