My ex-bf told me in germany they call their araucanaXbrown egg layer crosses "Green eggers".
There Araucanas are quite common(they don't seem to have as much breeding troubles as we in north america?) so they cross them with whatever kind of brown egg layers they got on hand and make some nice green egg layers.
They don't have Ameraucanas though, my ex never even heard of this breed until he came to visit me and saw my flock. He thought they look way less weird then the araucanas.
