What’s the diffrence between these three breeds?

[21hens-incharge]

I agree, the first two breeds listed are the same. Americana = Easter Egger. The third listed, salmon Faverolles, is a totally different and separate breed.
Many hatcheries sell Easter Eggers and label them as Americana. Some hatcheries sell Easter Eggers under both names.
I find it quite dishonest and a little insulting actually.
Anything to make more money I suppose.

I find it a bit insulting too.
Mostly that the AmerIcana (with an I) gets people looking to buy AmerAcana (with an A) while the ones with an I are certainly not the same as the actual ones with an A.
Then toss in there the name similarities to Aracauna (pretty sure I spelled that wrong ).

Basically there are a lot of birds being sold with different variations of the name catching folks off guard, causing confusion and getting people to buy what amounts to Easter Eggers when they were looking for something else.

How are 2 and 3 the same they are for the same store why would it list 2 of the same breed at the same store?

One and two are the same.... Unfortunately, Hatcheries get away with selling 'AmerIcana' as a breed, but they follow NONE of the breed standards for the AmerAUcana breed. Please note the spellings. The ones pictured don't even follow the standard for color. They get away with this, somehow, all the time.

There are few Hatcheries that sell real Ameraucana... My Pet Chicken is one, I believe Meyers does as well. They follow the standard as well as any hatchery quality chicken does; which is to say they're close, but no cigar.

I also want to point out that while Easter Eggers are crosses, they can have ameraucana heritage, or cream crested legbar heritage for the blue egg gene... True Ameraucana aren't crosses. They are a breed that when bred to another of its breed will have offspring that follow the same characteristics.
If you breed two EE that look similar, you aren't likely to reliably get offspring that look just like the parents. Same with any chicken sold as an AmerIcana.

what are some hatcheries that sell pure breeds?

People also what makes these breeds different?

Here is a breed chart for you to identify characteristics of the two breeds. Faverolle and Ameraucana.
EE and Ameraucana is a fuzzy line. Some hatcheries don't have a clear difference between them.

Easter Eggers are mixed breed birds so will vary greatly. Basically no way to know what went into the breeding but they are definitely not pure breeds.

what are some hatcheries that sell pure breeds?

All hatcheries carry pure breed birds. The increasing demands for birds that lay colored eggs but don't cost a fortune is why many sell mixed breed birds.
Then add that many people want colored eggs from birds that don't look alike.
Even more twist is that Easter Eggers tend to have "issues" so Hoover for example has brought even more into the mix creating what they call starlight green layers and prairie bluebells.
I have a couple of both of those. So far I like them well enough.
