The Ameraucana is an APA recongnized breed. They breed true. There is also a very specific set of features that they must have.
No. EEs are a mix of ANYTHING, they just need to have a parent with at least one blue egg gene. A mix of an Ameraucana x Maran crossed with a CCLB x Cochin isn't going to produce a purebred chicken even though both parents were EEs. Yes the offspring would be an Easter Egger just like the parents but it's not a purebred by any means.
Nvm- I found something
EEs are not an APA recognized breed, they are a mix of different breeds with one parent carrying a blue egg-laying gene.
Ameraucana large fowl are in the APA “All Other Standard Breeds” (AOSB) class of chickens. They were admitted to the Standard in 1984.
I addressed this.
