americauna or easter egger pullets

[JeeperPeeper]

My daughter wants to take these to show as pullets at the county fair in july. We aren't sure what to call them? Any suggestions? They were labeled auracana/easter eggers at the feed store. Are they americaunas? The tails turn down. About 12 weeks old in picture.

Non-standard Ameraucana colour, greenish legs

Part of the breed standard for Ameraucanas is plumage color. Yours are not one of the accepted colors so cannot be shown as Ameraucanas. They have a look typical of Easter eggers; lovely birds of many colors/patterns that usually lay green eggs and are commonly sold by hatcheries as "Americanas" or something similar.

They are Easter Egger pullets, so they can not be shown as Ameraucanas or Araucanas. I would not advise showing them in their regular breed class at the county fair. However, at least at my county fair, there is a class labeled something like "Any crossbred egg type,pullet/hen". The birds in that class are judged on condition and production qualities, not on how they compare to the breed standard. If your county fair has a similar class, you could enter them there and would probably do well.
