Breed Help: Confirm these are actually Easter Eggers and not Ameraucanas

[JadeFarms]

Easter eggers are a cross. They have pea combs and usually lay blue or green eggs but can lay brown. They have no specific, breedable colors and are not APA recognized. I believe they do not breed true. Ameraucanas have a standard of body shape, leg color, etc, always lay blue eggs, and have recognizable color varieties. I'm pretty sure that they are APA recognized and do breed true.

I totally agree with this, I’m gonna add on that they come in the colors black, blue, white, blue wheaten, brown red, buff, silver, self blue, and wheaten.
And your birds are EE

Ameraucanas is the real name, if they are labled Americana, americauna or anything spelled with an I then they are not real ameraucanas. True ameraucana chicks are about $20 a chick.

Those colors will be solid, yes? Maybe with a bit of leakage but solid?

Well if it is a true ameraucana no. Those are the APA recognized colors for ameraucanas.

Definitely not!
EEs are mixes. Still usually have Ameraucana blood; muffs and pa combs and dark legs, but they aren’t pure.
And they rarely come in solid colors.

are there any other differences?

They often lay green, not blue, and sometimes they look drastically different.
Bottom line: they are mixes.

Ameraucanas will breed true, have specific colors that you can breed for, and are APA recognized. They also have an SOP with body type, weight, etc.

Ah thank you!

Well Easter Eggers don’t breed true. They can lay any color egg (white, brown, green blue, pink, light brown). They aren’t APA recognized and a lot of times they have smaller beard and muffs. This is an ameraucana beard
