| Blue purebred Ameraucana pullet | Yes, this is really the color of eggs good Ameraucanas lay! | ||
| Ameraucana chickens are a very cool breed. They are not "Easter Eggers." EEs are mixed-breed chickens whose ancestors may possibly have carried a blue egg gene. They can lay eggs in any color from pink tinted to khaki to olive drab. True Ameraucanas have a pea comb, a beard and muff, slate colored legs (not grey-greenish "willow" or yellow!) and lay blue eggs, sometimes with a tint of turquoise. For more information, visit the Ameraucana Breeders' Club. | |||
| Farm fresh, free range, hormone,
chemical, pesticide, antibiotic, and cage free eggs for eating are $3.50/doz, $3 if
you bring your own carton. We can also provide fertile hatching eggs for $6/doz. |

| We also have Rhode Island Red, California White, Gold Comets, and Gold Sex Link chickens, so in addition to the blue or turquoise eggs we also have large and extra large light and dark brown and white eggs. | |||
| Our chickens have a big coop (affectionately known as the Coop De Ville) with nest boxes full of clean, bright straw. They have a chicken-sized door so they can go in and out any time they want--they pretty much choose to only go in their coop to lay eggs or roost at night...or in bad weather. Happy chickens give healthy eggs! Free range eggs are said to have less saturated fat, less cholesterol, and more healthy omegas than the caged kind. | |||

| This splash-colored Ameraucana rooster is "cock of the walk" around here. We have other roosters, but he's the senior one and he keeps the junior roos in line. | |||
