It is Ameraucana, not "Americana".

I keep seeing people spell the name "Americana" or some other way and it is starting to bother me, especially when we are on the Internet. There is no excuse. Look up the name if you do not know how to spell it. It is even right here on this website.

A big part of this is hatcheries misspelling it on purpose so they aren't technically lying about selling EE's. Many people order "Americana" chicks spelled that way from these hatcheries not knowing better about the breed.
