The Ameraucana Bantams were developed in the United States in the 1970s. The breed’s most striking features are their slate or black legs and the fact that they lay blue-tinted eggs. Ameraucana Bantams have both beards and muffs. Their pea comb and clean legs make them great birds for colder climates. Ameraucana Bantams typically have quiet and calm personalities. You can expect 3-5 small blue or green eggs per week from these hens. According to the Ameraucana Breeders Club (ABC) color chart, Ameraucanas can lay shades of green. While it is not desired, a green egg does not indicate that they are not pure Ameraucanas. Read more about the Ameraucana Chicken on our Breed Spotlight over on the Meyer Hatchery Blog.
