Developed in the Andalucia region of Spain, Andalusians are closely feathered, active and good layers of large white eggs. Their color and perky nature make them a great addition to any backyard flock. (They love to forage, so don't purchase them if you plan to keep your flock confined.)
Please be aware that the color blue does not hatch true in chickens. Blue is a diluting gene for
black. So, 50% of your Blue Andalusians will hatch blue,
and 25% will be black. The last 25% will be "splash," having received
two diluting genes. Splash is a very light color, pale blue or white
with "splashes" of black and darker blue in the feathers, especially in
the wings and tail. PLEASE KEEP THIS IN MIND WHEN YOU ORDER! Not
all of your blues will actually be blue!
