I was sold Araucanas by Rural King but they were actually Easter Eggers.
Araucanas are rumpless and they so not have tail feathers that upsweep like other breeds.
Ameraucanas are either a lighter/darker shade of the same color
or a few are two different colors
.
Ameraucanas do not have "black lacing" on a colored feather (wheaten, buff, etc). Those are Easter Eggers, like this one pictured with a Rhode Island red.
Here is a good article about the differences. http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2011/09/ameraucana-easter-egger-or-araucana.html
