I was wondering how do you label the breed of a chick thats a mix of Ameraucana and Rhode Island Red?
 
There are Easter Eggers, which are Ameraucana mixes (Ameraucanas arose from Easter Eggers as the judges decided which points to insist upon to complete the breed from my understanding).

And, there are also "Olive Eggers" which are Easter Eggers or Ameraucanas further diluted with a brown egglayer to produce olive colored eggs. They are not considered Easter Eggers anymore.

I unfortunately don't know how to tell them apart and am hoping to point you in the direction where you might be able to search for more info, knowing these terms.

I am guessing that you would have an Easter Egger there, to answer your question.

Here is a nice website with some pics of Easter Eggers.
