The Ameraucana was developed in the United States in the 1970s from Araucana chickens brought from Chile. It was bred to retain the unusual blue-egg gene of the Araucana, but eliminate the tufted and rumpless lethal alleles of the parent breed. Over the years, multiple breeds have been crossed to strengthen the genetics and beauty of the Ameraucana also known as an "Easter Egger."
While the majority of our Ameraucanas will lay bluish green eggs, they have the possibility of laying colored eggs of shades varying from pale turquoise to deep olive to shades of pinkish brown. Each bird will typically lay a different shade of colored egg. Adult Ameraucanas are of medium size with pea combs and feathers in a wonderful combination of colors and color patterns. They are extremely hardy and great for any flock. Baby chicks come in all colors, plain and fancy, just like the adults. They have muffs and beards and slate colored legs. This is a unique breed that should be in every flock!
Our chicks are recommended for egg laying color and ability, they are should not be confused with Araucanas. $10. each

Vaccinations
All chicks will be vaccinated for Mareks Disease. We have put much thought into this decision. For many years we did not want to vaccinate, due to keeping the chicks as natural as possible. Due to the extreme popularity of back yard chickens, more and more people are asking about vaccinations. Mareks Disease is starting to become more common, with flocks of backyard chickens popping up in nearly every neighborhood. This disease can spread through the wind or on clothing and shoes of your neighbors who have chickens. It is not harmful to humans, but quite deadly to most chickens. 80% of any flock will likely not survive if they are exposed to Mareks. The vaccination is given on hatch day to the chicks. Medicated feed is still recommended for the first few months to control coccidosis, which is a completely different issue than Mareks.
