MMc falsely advertises their EE as Ameraucanas. A true Ameraucana breeds true for color. It's a dead give away that a hatchery is actually selling EE if they state that the color of the chicks/pullets is varied. That being said, IMO, (and I'm sure that I'm opening a huge can of worms here by making this statement... just remember, it's only my opinion) EE are a better layer than Ameraucanas!

x2 and it's unfortunate that they continue to do so.

Youll be happy to know they are one of the top rated layers

That's great news! I can already tell that these ladies will need to have their wings clipped when they eventually go out to their coop - they do love to fly.

EE often have a full beard and green legs. Most hatchery( Americana) are EE . Generally EE are slightly smaller but some are actually larger. Most of these larger ones are crosses. True Ameraucana breed true to color and have slate legs. There are 8 colors accepted into the standard. There are several project colors that may someday make it into the standard.
