No they are not there are 3 different species of the greens muticus-muticus is the javas, muticus-imperator and the muticus-spicifer the burmese. I have two pens of the burmese one pair is from Germany from Wolfgang and I have a 4 year old male offspring from another pair of the imports with 2 american burmese hens I have hatched 3 chicks out of this pen only one hen has layed and the male has droped his train. There is no burmese left in the wild. Here is a picture of a the only burmese chick I hatch so far out of the import pen he is a week old now the picture was took when he was 2 days old https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/uploads/46579_100_1378.jpg
Yeah it is harder to raise greens right because they don't produce eggs like India blues do? Did your greens do okay in the cold?
It is neat seeing that burmese peachick, now that I have a peachick I can tell just how different they look even as chicks from the India blue varieties. Their head definitely has a different shape and their colors look less rust red and more of a silver or grey brown.
I can't wait for my peachick to be 4 weeks old!
