The Blue Wheaten Ameraucana Chickens that are kept at Greener Pastures Farm are from prizewinning bloodlines. They are beautiful, consistent in color and type, and lay Robin's Egg Blue eggs. The gorgeous blue-gray, rust and gold coloring of the roosters initially drew me to this breed, while the laying ability of the hens have kept this productive breed on our farm.
Both Araucanas and Ameraucanas are pure breeds, both originating from South America. However, Araucanas are rumpless, which means they don't have a tail, and do carry a lethal gene. We do not keep or breed Araucanas.

Many people mistakenly confuse
the Araucana and Ameraucana
breeds with the mongrel chickens
they may have purchased at feed
stores or mail order houses, which
are inaccurately sold as
Araucanas or Ameraucanas.
Those feed store chickens do not
have consistency of type, color,
feather pattern or egg color and
lay mostly brown and olive drab
eggs, while occasionally producing
a pinkish or bluish egg. Some
chicken owners, aware that their
mongrels cannot be termed
Araucana or Ameraucana, are now
calling them "Easter Eggers."
We purchased our purebred
Ameraucana breeding stock from
an award winning flock, and by breeding and culling over the past several years, we continue to keep the best of the flock to utilize for production and breed preservation.
Sorry, we do not provide Ameraucana breeding stock, chicks or pullets at this time. Contact ABC Ameraucana Breeders Club for a list of breeders.
