Many hatcheries, including Murray McMurray advertise "Ameraucanas" that are actually Easter Eggers. Even if they have accepted varieties of Ameraucanas, if they combine the varieties, they no longer breed true and so are not Ameraucanas anymore. Ameraucana is a standardized breed with specific varieties and EEs are not. What you have is definitely an EE, not that that makes her any less wonderful, just means she isn't an Ameraucana, that's all.
That's is so cute
I would probably not order from them again. I have one that is pretty as pretty gets. However, she isn’t a specific color. She has muffs and beard but just the color doesn’t work, which makes her an EE.Says right on their website their "Ameraucanas" are a "mixed flock", meaning all their colors are combined, therefore are not any specific variety, making them Easter Eggers. Also says some lay a pink egg. Ameraucanas NEVER lay any color egg but blue. Not trying to be mean, just trying to educate

This is another EE that I have. I love her coloring too. She also has muffs and beard. But again, because of the coloring she isn’t an Ameraucana.
Appreciate the information and your right it really doesn't matter she sweet and we will keep her ❤
Also , where do I find who sets the chicken standard? I know AKC for dogs but is it for chicken thanks again
Oh she is very prettyThis is another EE that I have. I love her coloring too. She also has muffs and beard. But again, because of the coloring she isn’t an Ameraucana.
Edit to add the photos
and she is and EE. While this is very educational I'll just keep what I have and keep asking questions thanksI just wanted to show you. Your girl is very pretty. I think a lot of ppl get hung up on what their breed is and that is all a lot of ppl care about.Oh she is very pretty
My six year old is holding them.
