Blue Ameraucana Chicks

Purely Poultry is delighted to introduce the beautiful Blue Ameraucana Chicks, a breed that brings both elegance and practicality to your flock. Developed in the 1970s from the Chilean Araucana and perfected in the U.S.and recognized by the American Poultry Association (APA) in 1984; these striking birds are renowned for their soft blue-gray plumage and their unique ability to lay stunning blue eggs. With their calm, quiet temperament, Blue Ameraucanas are a wonderful choice for families and poultry keepers in urban or suburban settings, where peaceful birds are a priority.

The true magic of the Blue Ameraucana lies in their remarkable egg-laying abilities. Hens begin producing around six months of age, providing a steady supply of 180 to 200 medium to large eggs annually. Most eggs are a beautiful sky blue, though an occasional light green egg adds a delightful surprise to your egg basket. Their productivity, combined with their friendly nature, makes them an ideal breed for anyone seeking both charm and utility in their backyard coop.

With roosters weighing around 6½ pounds and hens slightly smaller at 5½ pounds, Blue Ameraucanas are a manageable size for most backyard setups. Not only are they visually captivating with their soft blue feathers, but they’re also incredibly hardy. Their small pea combs help protect them from frostbite, making them well-suited to colder climates. Whether you live in a rural or urban environment, these birds adapt easily, offering a low-maintenance yet rewarding poultry experience.

One unique feature of the Blue Ameraucana is their genetics: blue chickens do not breed true. When you breed blue to blue, you’ll end up with a fascinating mix—50% of the chicks will be blue, 25% will be black, and 25% will be splash, adding an extra layer of variety to your flock. While we strive to provide as many blue chicks as possible, expect a fun blend of colors in your order. Additionally, we aim for an 80% accuracy in sexing for this breed, but be aware that there’s a small chance, around 1 in 100 chicks, that some may develop a condition called scissor or cross beak, where the top and bottom beaks don’t fully align.

At Purely Poultry, we are dedicated to ensuring a smooth and seamless experience when purchasing your Blue Ameraucana Chicks. Each chick comes with our live-arrival guarantee, giving you peace of mind that your new additions will arrive healthy and ready to thrive in their new home. With their unique blue eggs, calm demeanor, and striking appearance, Blue Ameraucanas are a standout choice for any flock.

“Breeding Blue Disclaimer: When breeding blue chickens, genetics play a unique role in color outcomes. Breeding two blue chickens typically results in 50% blue offspring, 25% splash (lighter, spotted plumage), and 25% black. This predictable color variation is a natural part of blue chicken genetics, so keep in mind that not all chicks from blue parents will be blue.”
