Easter egger is the name given to blue egg laying chickens that don't meet the Ameraucana or Araucana breed/variety description. They may have "pure" parents but if they are not one of the officially recognized colour varieties or if they lack breed qualities such as the muffs and beard, or if they have green legs, then they are no longer considered Ameraucanas - even if they lay blue eggs. There are many unsuspecting poultry enthusiasts unaware of this fact so unfortunately many birds are bought and sold as Ameraucanas that don't meet the breed standard.
