Ameraucana Bantam Chickens

The festive and lively Ameraucana Bantam, sometimes called the Arauacana is very popular for its distinctive appearance, and its unique eggs which are colored bright blue, green, turquoise, and deep olive. Many people refer to the Amerraucana Chicken as the "Easter Egg Breed" because the eggs look as if they have been dyed the bright pastel hues of Easter. The bantam variety of the Araucana Chicken is a great option for those who wish to raise this fun blue/green egg layer, but don't have room for standards or just enjoy raising Banties!

Also, Ameraucana Bantam Chickens have exciting appearances, from the chick stage all the way through maturity. They have beards around their beaks and muffs on their heads, making them one of the most distinctive breeds of chickens available. These facial features give them an appearance similar to a chipmunk, and are extremely cute in the bantam sizes.

Araucana Chickens are normally bred to be excellent egg layers. The Araucana Bantam Chickens are great layers of small bantam sized blue/green eggs. They are a particularly hardy bantam breed and a great choice for the backyard chicken farmer of any experience level. If you are looking for a fun breed that will be the subject of much conversation and enjoyment, the Ameracauna Chicken is for you.

Araucana Bantam Chicken Facts

The Araucana Chicken has South American Origins and is often spelled in many different ways: Araucana, Ameraucana, or Americana

Like most hatcheries, the Araucana Chickens we sell are bred to be primarily "Easter Egg Layers", thus they do not conform to the breeding standards of true Ameraucana Chickens. They are intended primarily to be pets and egg layers, rather than show birds.
