Easter Egger Chickens (Ameraucana)
Our festive and lively
Easter Egger Chicken is also commonly referred to as the
Ameraucana. The
Ameraucana Chicken Breed is recognized bye the APA in many different color variations. While our
Ameraucana Chickens do hold true to the qualities and characteristics recognized by the APA, we do not breed specifically for any particular color and offer a "mixed color" variety, nor do we guarantee any particular colors or color variations of this breed. For this reason, we advertise our Ameraucana Chickens as
Easter Eggers.
The Ameraucana breed is very popular for its distinctive appearance and its unique egg coloration which ranges from bright blue, green, turquoise, deep olive, and rarely to a light brown or pink. Ameraucana Chickens have exciting appearances from the chick stage all the way through maturity. They have beards underneath their beaks and muffs around their cheeks, making them one of the most distinctive breeds of chickens available. These facial features give them an appearance similar to a chipmunk.
Our Easter Egger Chickens are bred specifically to be excellent egg layers of the blueish green eggs. In addition to substantial egg production, their hardiness and robustness allows them to be quite adaptable to a wide variety of environments. This makes them a go-to breed for people looking to raise exciting birds at all levels of breeding skill. Though we do breed and sell a "mixed color" variety of Ameraucana, it is possible you will get a solid or recognized color variety that can compete in poultry shows. If you are looking for a fun breed that will be the subject of much conversation and enjoyment, the Ameracauna Chicken is for you.

Ameraucanas, or
Americana
Like most hatcheries, the Ameraucana 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.
