I'm not quite sure about that one; probably from mixing them with other breeds such as EE chickens?

Google isn't always right.

Ameraucanas and araucanas were in fact developed from what are essentially EE's, it is true

Not trying to intrude here, but had to share a little information I found.

Pretty sure Easter Eggers are the foundation stock from which Ameraucanas were developed, contrary to what most believe. Here's an article by John Blehm on the matter:

Araucanas were actually developed by the Araucana Indians who bred the Collanoca a clean faced rumpless chicken with Quetro chickens which are tailed and tufted. The Araucana Indians selected for birds with tufts and no tails and laid blue eggs as they believed that being rumpless helped the birds evade predators better.
