So ... On this download/price order form it says Ameraucana (Easter Egger) and says layers of blue and green eggs.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I have the understanding that Ameraucana is a blue egg layer only, a pure breed and that and EE is a mixed breed with green and possible blue eggs.

You are right. I'm pretty sure you would be getting easter eggers (mutts laying blue, green, brown, pink or white eggs)

I actually had that conversation with Jason several years ago and his concession was to add the EE's , until then it only said Ameraucanas.
Since he probably purchases them from a US hatchery under the name Ameraucanas, I guess we should be happy with baby steps.
That said his EE's are healthy and come in spectacular colors and are good layers, so it's back to buyer beware.
