is there such a thing as a white americana?

I was supposed to get 5 ameraucana gals with my order and got 4 that look alike. I also ordered white rocks, buff rocks, barred rocks. Two look different though, one I have been calling the mystery chick (black with a white spot on its head) that was extra. I'm wondering if this blonde one is an ameraucana. She has white feathers like the white rocks and a buff head like the buffs. She put on her wing feathers at the exact same rate as the ameraucanas (days earlier than all the rest). She is also tempered like the ameraucanas, very docile & friendly. The buffs are crazy and the white rocks are sweet but avoid me. So... do you think she is a white ameraucana? Is there such a thing? Or do you think they just threw something else in and I have 2 mystery chicks?

First, if you ordered from a hatchery (like mine were) you probably got Ameracauna crosses...otherwise known on BYC as EE or Easter Eggers. I had two girls like your four, and one that was white.

Here are your standards: http://www.ameraucana.org/standard.html There is such thing as a white ameraucana.

This is Uno. His father was a pure bred, white ameraucana. His mother was a buff orpington. He did not inherit the pea comb. He has blue/green legs and muffs with a beard. Since he is the offspring of a pure father, but an orpington mother, he is considered an EE. I've just started hatching chicks that he's fathered over buff orpington hens. The chicks do have pea combs and some of them have inherited his green legs. These are something of a project for me. I'm hoping they also get the blue/green egg gene.

Of our 2 EEs we got last year, one looked like your white one and the other had the chipmunk stripes. She turned out looking like the pictures the others have posted. She is very beautiful, a bit smaller than the other chickens and a bit more flighty. She loves to come up and eat out of our hand and talk to us, but heaven forbid we try to touch her. The other EE will let us pick her right up. But that's probably just her personality and not anything to do with the color. They will all be beautiful, I love EE's - they are all just a little bit different.
