The Ameraucana is one of the most fascinating and unique chicken breeds in the world. The breed's standout trait is its blue eggs — a natural color that is not dyed or produced by any supplement.
The Ameraucana was developed in the United States from the South American Araucana breed in the 1970s. It features distinctive muffs and a beard — facial feathering that easily sets it apart from other breeds.
In Georgia, the Ameraucana is a rare and sought-after breed. Blue eggs always attract interest and command good prices. The Ameraucana adapts well to Kakheti's climate.
