Blue Ameraucana Chicken

The large fowl blue Ameracuana chicken is one of several color varieties of Ameraucanas the American Poultry Association recognizes. Hatchery® started offering blue Ameraucana day-old chicks in 2015. They are not the same as Easter Egger™. Nor are they Araucana. They are the real deal!  We have a limited supply of this rare variety, created by Master Breeder John W. Blehm.
