The Ameraucana/Araucana is a highly popular breed, known for their beautiful blue eggs. This breed was originally developed in the 1970s, derived from Araucanas. Ameraucana/Araucanas were bred to retain the blue-egg laying gene but eliminate some of the issues associated with the Araucana breed. Mature Ameraucana/Araucanas are medium-sized birds with pea combs, are extremely hardy, and come in a wonderful combination of colors and color patterns making a beautiful laying flock. Baby chicks come in all colors, just like the adults. Ameraucana/Araucanas are sold as a mixed flock only, and specific feather coloring is not available. They have muffs, but not all will have beards. Hens will breed true for egg color. | Murray McMurray Hatchery Ameraucana/Araucana Chicken Pullet
