EE or Ameraucana?

Sounds like they developed their birds from Araucanas.

Hatchery Araucanas that were bearded, tailed and did not have any type, that is what we call today EEs, Mike calls them EEs. Why is so difficult for you to call them EEs?

Ya it does sound official to me.
Don's birds were Araucanas. Mike was working with what he called American Araucana.
Sounds like they developed their birds from Araucanas.

It said Mike's birds were from Marti's in Missouri.
Marti's sold Araucanas.

Thanks for the illustration, I was trying to find it to make my point. But you just did that for me.

Hatchery Araucana that are breaded and tailed(like the ilustration and also confirmed by mike) are Easter Eggers, Mike Gilbert and the rest of The Ameraucana community agrees with that, why don't you? You find it so easy to name your off color Leghorns(pure by any standard but perhaps not in a accepted color) EEs why not these historic EES that were the foundation of The Ameraucana? Why not give them their credit?

Because at the time they were called Araucanas. Those birds used were called Araucanas.
Why do we need to go back in time and rename those birds?
Why is it so hard for you to stick with what they were at the time?
Why change the past? Why can't you see they were known as Araucanas and developed into what we know now days as Araucana, Ameraucana and Easter Eggers?

He doesn't refer to his LH's as EE's. He was joking.

I honestly think you two are literally just misunderstanding each other. One of you has a sense of humor that is often too large for most. The other has none at all. Things are getting buried in miscommunication.

I gotta agree. I might be missing something (Moony, Overo and Colt have all seen it's possible with me) but how does whatever of the 3 came first and made the other 2 have to do with whether genetically pure Ameraucana are EEs because they are mixed color?

I personally wouldn't call them EEs if they are just mixed colors but otherwise pure. I'd just call them mixed color Ams.

That's what their breeder calls them and that's what I would assume they would be called, I just wasn't sure and again just kinda wanted to know if I was going to have another "It's an EE" argument brew if I end up getting some
