Araucana Chicks

The "Easter Egg Chicken", This unusual breed gets its name from the Indian tribe of Chile where they were first discovered. Araucanas lay beautiful colored eggs of blue-green shades from turquoise to deep olive. These natural Easter Eggs will amaze your friends and make a great "show and tell" project for school. Adults are of medium size with pea combs and our breeding stock is selected for their ability to produce colored eggs. They exhibit a wonderful combination of colors and color patterns and 10 or 20 of these birds make an absolutely beautiful laying flock that is extremely hardy and will be the talk of the town. Baby chicks come in all colors, plain and fancy, just like the adults. This is a unique breed and great fun to have when the colored eggs start coming. Our Araucanas are recommended for egg laying color and ability and not for exhibition.

Mine looks a little different than these. It has a more pronounced beard and ear tufts. It also has no rump at all. I'm hoping mine is actually araucana.

@elliybear2 Like I said, not technically araucanas.

@wiredforstereo wrong. not all araucanas have tails, true, but some do. also, not all have cheek tufts either. i used to have a little flock of araucanas and only 3 had cheektufts, and most had tails. and yes, they were from a reputable breeder and all were araucanas.

True araucanas have cheek tufts and no tails. These are easter eggers. They have the easter egg trait, but are not technically araucanas.
