I thought EE's were Americaunas. What is the difference?

EEs are Ameraucana hybrids.

There are several others, but here's one thread with lots of good info & pics about the differences between EEs, Ameraucanas, & Araucanas: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/567420/araucana-ameraucana-or-easter-egger-learn-the-differences

Thanks for the information. I wanted EE's too. One layed day before yesterday and they both layed today. Loved opening the nesting box to find 5 eggs/ the blues just made it look so pretty. I have one hen that lays dark eggs. Today I got 3 Black Copper Marans so maybe soon it really will be a wide range of colors.
