Blue Ameraucana eggs from our breeding pen in 2017.
In 2022, we combined our white Ameraucana chickens with our blue and splash Ameraucana chickens. Since 2023, all the roosters and hens in this breeding pen have been splash in color. However, a blue Ameraucana chick or two may still hatch due to the presence of previous blue Ameraucana adults in the breeding pens. No pure white Ameraucana chicks have hatched since 2021.
We are no longer breeding black or Wheaten/Blue Wheaten Ameraucana chickens.
Ameraucana chickens are layers so they will not grow as fast as dual-purpose breeds. We have been breeding Ameraucana chickens since 2013. Our stock is a combination of six unrelated lines from AB, BC, and SK.
We love the muffs, personalities, grey/blue slate legs, and blue eggs of this breed. Our Ameraucana stock has slowly improved from one generation to the next and so has our hen’s egg size. Most of our hens lay large-sized blue eggs. We always choose the best blue eggs to incubate or ship.
Currently, the APA recognizes colour varieties in black, blue, blue wheaten, brow-red, buff, silver, wheaten, and white. The Ameraucana was developed in the United States in the 1970s from Araucana chickens brought in from Chile. Ameraucana traits include full tails, muffs, beards, and slate or black legs depending on the variety. They have pea combs and lay blue-shelled eggs. They are easy keepers, alert foragers, and nice layers of about 250 blue eggs a year. Ameraucana breeders find that these birds do well in our extreme Canadian winters due to their hardiness and pea combs.
