Hen or rooster?

[EEforMe]

THAT’S WHAT I SAID!!!!!!!

Ameraucana = Actual Breed

Americana ,& Ameracana = Easter Egger

That’s not true.

What's not true?

I'm just clarifying for other people who maybe confused on the spelling, & which spelling is correct for the breed, & what spelling is used most often by hatcheries selling Easter Eggers.

You spelled it with an i.

Agreed. An i is not to correct spelling.

We bought 4 blue Americanas from our local feed store the end of March. One is a hen, but these three look totally different. View attachment 2829265View attachment 2829267View attachment 2829262

Definitely EE cockerels!

Ok so I typo-ed but still Easter Eggers and ameraucanas are never-ever-ever the same thing:

That's not she was saying. She was saying that when feed stores and stuff spell Americana or Ameracana then they are most likely EEs. (At least I think that's what she was saying.)

It should have been specified that they were talking about spelling but whatevs. Also I think it autocorrected when I spelled it with an I because this time I typed ameraucana it autocorrected.

They were specific. Ameraucanas are Ameraucanas, and Americana, Ameracana, and everything in between is just code for EE.
