Join the waitlistThe Ameraucana is America’s true blue-egg breed — not to be confused with the Easter Egger, which is a mix rather than a recognized breed. Developed in the 1970s and accepted by the American Poultry Association in 1984, it’s known for its muffs and beard, neat pea comb, and slate-blue legs.
We raise the Blue and Black varieties. Blue is a dilution of black, so a blue-to-blue pairing naturally throws blue, black, and the occasional splash — all of them handsome, all of them blue-egg layers.
They’re calm, friendly, and a little independent, cold-hardy thanks to that low pea comb, and lay three to four blue eggs a week — sometimes with the faintest green cast.
A true APA breed — muffs, beard, pea comb, and slate-blue legs.
Offered in Blue and Black; pairings can also produce splash.
That low pea comb makes them notably cold-hardy.
