Ameraucana Hens Can Lay Blue-Colored Eggs


Ameraucana hens can lay blue-colored eggs.

The Ameraucana is an American breed; in fact, its name is a portmanteau of “American” and “Araucana.” It is thus a descendant of the Araucana, which has two lethal genes, one for taillessness and another for tufted ears.

If a chick inherits either gene from both parents, it will die before hatching.
