Actually, EE/Auracana/Ameracuna (sp?) is one that gets confused a lot. Part of it is the limited number of accepted colors for Amer/Aucanas (if the bird ends up with the wrong feathers, it is no longer an Ameracana, but a EE). Part of it is the "breeder/hatchery" was mis-informed and they keep selling chicks with the name of what they thought they had.Just tuned into this thread today. Anybody still out there?? I also learned the difference of a BR & Dom...necker on BYC forum. Have learned a lot about chickens even though we had some when I was a teen.
What got me started learning the different breeds was: I bought an Aracauna pullet. Not only was it NOT a pullet, it Wasn't an Aracauna, it IS an EE. Really upset me to see chickens being sold by the wrong name also.
