Purebred, bred to standard.  These are purebred Ameraucanas, which originate from Chilean blue egg layers called Aracuanas.  THESE ARE NOT AMERICANAS (spelled with an "I" --those are Easter Eggers!). Ameraucanas were bred to retain the blue egg gene of Chilean Aracuanas. As such, these girls are guaranteed blue egg layers.  The breed’s most striking feature is their lovely blue eggs, best blue color of any pure breed. Their pea comb makes them a great bird for colder climates. They have a quiet and calm personality, and produce 4-6 beautiful blue eggs per week. My splash ameraucana pullet won best in show Douglas county in 2023.  I carry blue, black, splash and lavender colors. They are one of my favorite breeds and every flock needs at least one!
