Ameraucanas or Easter Eggers?

[FrostRanger]

I think they meant OE and EE are the same.

Ah, if so, then that is true, olive eggers are indeed easter eggers

Yes, Olive Eggers are just Easter Eggers (as in, a mix that lays colored eggs) bred in such a way that they will (or, should) lay green/olive eggs.

Some hatcheries distinguish between them because people are looking for specifically green/olive eggs. Because parent stock tends to be some sort of blue layer crossed with a dark brown layer (often an Ameraucana or Crested Legbar crossed with a Marans), they can have characteristic traits at certain hatcheries (ex: many Olive Eggers that are Marans crosses have feathered shanks/feet). That said, feathered feet aren't a guarantee of any egg color, unless you know that particular hatchery breeds blue layers x Marans for olive eggers.
