Ameraucana (RARE varieties)

Background

The Ameraucana chicken breed originates from Chile blue egg layers called Aracuanas. Ameraucanas were bred to retain the blue egg gene while eliminating the lethal alleles common to their parent breed.

The Ameraucana breed was admitted in the APA Standards of Perfection (SOP) in 1984. The last color variety to be admitted in the APA was the Lavender, also known as Self-Blue.

All of our three flocks are sourced from top US breeders who are committed to breeding to APA SOP. We have joined the Ameraucana Breeders Club and are committed to preserve and retain the wonderful features of this amazing, unique breed.

BBS Blue Ameraucana chick

Per our experience, Ameraucanas are calm, docile, super hardy, and friendly birds. They make excellent pets with benefits. Both male and female are active, inquisitive, and friendly. They bare confinement well, but are excellent foragers if given the opportunity. The hens can go broody, but otherwise, are great layers on light blue eggs. Their egg laying season can be long. They are usually the last ones to quit laying in late November and the first ones to start back up in January. Of course, there may be environmental factors that could affect this. Their pea comb makes them the ideal bird to raise in cold weather regions but I personally find that they do really well over hot summer days in Florida. They are one of my favorite breeds of all time.

Breed Varieties

We own three flocks of Ameraucanas. We raise BBS (Blue, black, and splash colors), Lavenders, and Wheatens. They are real Ameraucanas and are not to be confused with Easter Eggers, which is not a recognized breed. For the 2022 breeding season, we will be only be offering chicks and eggs from our BBS and Lavender Ameraucana flock until further notice. BBS stands for blue, black, and splash.
