Yes they are. It’s a marketing ploy. True Ams aren’t spelled that way (they’re spelled Ameraucana) and only come in specific colors. SOME hatcheries sell real Ams but TSC is not one and anywhere that spells it incorrectly like that and/or doesn’t specify a color is selling EEs.
Then how does anyone own an Americana? That may sound like a stupid question but ppl get chicks from hatcheries usually and I know that people get americanas from hatcheries
Tractor supply gets them from a hatchery that spells it Ameraucana and Americana, I’ve seen both. But thank you
Americana is not a breed. They are Easter Eggers. True Ameraucanas are a breed and only specific hatcheries have true ones. Not many do.Then how does anyone own an Americana?

Maybe Hoovers added them then. Last I checked they didnt
Like they say in school, spelling matters. One is a purebred, one is designed to look like a purebred so people pay more
Some have started using the Ameraucna for mixed color pens
Ah makes sense. Wouldn’t they technically be considered EEs then since they’re not pure colors? Or no?
That's where people differ. Technically they don't fit the standard. I say no, since they will make more of themselves if bred together, but some say yes since they aren't showable
