Description:

Exclusively ours! We blogged about how much we love our Favaucanas a few years back and we were shocked by the overwhelming response, so we decided to breed them just for you!


We adore this designer breed for its many wonderful qualities: Extreme docility; sage-green, medium to large eggs; beautiful little muffs, beards, and lightly feathered feet, (some with five toes!). They have pea combs and profuse feathering for cold-hardiness. Their slender body size helps with heat-tolerance. Then, of course, their overall appearance, something like a blue or black hawk, simply turns heads.

Due to the genetics of the blue plumage color, these Favaucanas will hatch out with plumages of Blue or Black. Unfortunately, we are unable to take requests for specific colors. 

1/16th of Blue Favaucanas lay a light brown egg.

Blue or Green Egg Promise

Most Easter and Olive Eggers will lay blue or green eggs. However, due to natural genetic variation, a small number may produce eggs that are brown, pinkish, or tinted instead. Since each hen lays one consistent egg color for life, egg color becomes clear once she begins laying — typically between 18 and 30 weeks.

If your Easter Egger or Olive Egger lays eggs that are not blue or green, we will refund the purchase price of the bird as My Pet Chicken store credit. Read more information here.
