AMERAUCANA (SHIPPED FEBRUARY – OCTOBER) The Ameraucana is a one of our most popular breeds, known for their beautiful blue eggs. The breed was originally developed in the 1970s, derived from Araucanas. Ameraucanas were bred to retain the blue-egg laying gene but eliminate some of the issues associated with the Araucana breed. We have been breeding Ameraucanas since the 1980s — even before they were admitted into the Standard of Perfection by the American Poultry Association in 1984. These extremely hardy birds come in a variety of colors and color patterns, making a beautiful laying flock. Our Ameraucanas are sold as a mixed flock only, and specific feather coloring is not available. Our birds have muffs, but not all will have beards. Hens will breed true for egg color.
