Blue Sumatra

Purely Poultry is excited to offer the Blue Sumatra Chickens, a breed that brings an exotic flair and historical depth to any backyard flock. Originating from the tropical regions of Sumatra, Java, and Borneo, these birds are known for their stunning blue-tinted feathers, sleek profiles, and elegant tails, reminiscent of wild pheasants. Their striking beauty is only enhanced by their rich green sheen, making them a true showpiece in any coop.

Though their primary appeal is their ornamental value, Blue Sumatra Chickens are hardy and resilient. They thrive in free-range environments, where they can indulge in their natural foraging instincts. Adaptable to a variety of climates, these birds are particularly suited for poultry keepers who prefer letting their flock roam in more natural settings, as they enjoy lush, bushy landscapes where they can explore and showcase their natural agility.

While they aren’t prolific layers, producing around 100 eggs annually, Blue Sumatra Hens bring a charm to your flock that goes beyond egg production. The beauty of owning these birds is in their rarity and the fascinating genetic traits they exhibit. When breeding Blue Sumatras, expect a delightful mix of colors in their offspring, from soft blues to striking blacks and splashes of lighter shades, adding to their allure for poultry enthusiasts interested in genetics.

Recognized by the American Standard of Perfection in 2003, Blue Sumatras carry a rich heritage. Their introduction to the United States in 1847 by pioneers such as Nelson A. Wood is a testament to their lasting appeal. Whether you’re a seasoned poultry enthusiast or just starting your flock, owning these birds offers a chance to preserve and appreciate a unique breed that has captivated admirers for centuries.

“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.”
