Easter Egger's and Ameraucana's = same thing

[whiteboy]

Lots of breeds have leakage. I'm asking you. Not you asking me. Is your whole summation that controlled genetics and an APA standard don't make a breed purebred?

my summation is that people call any cross bred chicken an easter egger. When in fact they have been using the same genetic strain that is nearly identical to Ameraucanas (with the exception of color leakage). The Phenotype is the same yet one is a breed and the other is not. I find that amusing.

If you cross a SLW (female) to a RIR (male) - are the offspring still pure Rhode Island Reds?

See, that was my point.

I've had to staunchly defend that my mixed breeds are NOT EEs, and yet apparently they are because they happen to have muffs and aren't ant pure breed

 

[TheOddOneOut]

Wait, are you on my side now?? lol

No....I’m saying, that is a different argument.

Ameraucanas are Easter Eggers That are bred to a agreed standard, Easter Eggers are not. They share many genetic traits like the Blue eggshell mutation(identical mutation to the sequenced letter ) By todays standard every Bird before 1980 was an Easter Egger

Fast forwards now I know what they all actually are, I had originally asked for genders and was repeatedly told all were just EEs. I have one more that I'll try to grab a picture of real quick

EASTER EGGE-
Alright.
They actually don't look as much like EE as I thought they would.
