These are one of our favorites! They are friendly, great layers of bantam-sized blue and green eggs, and very rarely, even pinkish eggs. Their smaller body size makes them good in the heat, and their small pea combs means they do well in cold, too, because they are not as susceptible to frostbite. "Easter Eggers" are hybrids that carry the blue-egg gene of the true Araucana breed. We like to think that the pea comb is linked not only to the blue egg laying gene, but also to the "sweetness" gene, as well. Because this is a hybrid variety (not a breed), even if you have a whole flock of them, you can often tell them apart because they come in so many different colors, which isn't always possible with other breeds. (Choosing your color is not possible because we can't tell what the chicks will look like when they feather out.)

Other hatcheries (misleadingly) sell these as "Ameraucanas," "Americanas" or sometimes "Araucanas," however, only breeders can provide true Ameraucanas or Araucanas at this time.
