Ermine Ameraucana

The Ermine Ameraucana is a beautiful and unique chicken breed loved by poultry enthusiasts for its striking plumage, gentle personality, and signature blue eggs. Known for its clean lines, pea comb, and beard, this Ameraucana variety stands out with its stunning white feathers edged in black, giving it the distinctive “ermine” pattern that’s both eye-catching and regal.

At George Chicken Ranch, our Ermine Ameraucanas are bred for both beauty and productivity. The hens produce 140–200 medium-to-large blue eggs per year, adding a splash of color to your egg basket and delighting customers or family members. The shade of blue is natural, consistent, and often considered a selling point for farm stands and local markets.

Ermine Ameraucanas are docile, friendly, and hardy, making them a great choice for families, beginner poultry keepers, or mixed flocks. They adapt well to free-range setups, where they enjoy foraging, but are equally content in secure coops and runs. Their pea comb makes them more resistant to frostbite in colder climates, while their overall robust health ensures they thrive in diverse environments.
