I raise Araucana Chickens for customers looking for distinctive blue-egg chickens, breeding stock, backyard poultry, homestead chickens and productive farm flocks. Araucanas are especially known for their naturally blue-shelled eggs and their distinctive appearance, making them an interesting choice for anyone who wants something different from ordinary brown- or white-egg layers.
At Pure Greenland Farm, I focus on raising my birds with practical farm care, good nutrition, clean housing and appropriate space for normal chicken behavior. Depending on availability, I can offer Araucana chicks, growing pullets, mature hens, roosters, breeding stock and hatching eggs.
Araucana Chicks for Sale
Araucana chicks are a popular choice for customers who want to build their own blue-egg flock from a young age. I provide chicks according to availability and raise them with the same attention I give to my mature birds.
When raising Araucana chicks, I pay particular attention to warmth, clean drinking water, appropriate chick starter feed, sanitation and protection from predators. Young chickens need a secure brooding environment before they are ready to move into an outdoor coop or free-range setting.
Araucana Pullets for Sale
For customers who do not want to raise chicks through the brooding stage, Araucana pullets can be a convenient option. Pullets are young female chickens that are developing toward laying age.
I provide growing birds with appropriate feed, fresh water, shelter and sufficient space so they can develop properly. As pullets mature, customers can transition them into a suitable laying flock environment.
Adult Araucana Hens
Adult Araucana hens are particularly attractive to customers who want established blue-egg layers. A mature hen can become part of a backyard flock, homestead flock, breeding program or small farm.
The exact laying rate and egg shade can vary between individual hens, lines, age, nutrition, season and management. I therefore recommend choosing birds based on the purpose of your flock rather than expecting every hen to produce exactly the same number or shade of eggs.
Araucana Roosters for Sale
Araucana roosters can be used to establish or maintain a breeding flock. A healthy rooster can be kept with compatible hens when the goal is to produce fertile eggs and future Araucana chicks.
When keeping a rooster, I recommend providing enough space, appropriate flock size and secure housing. Customers should also consider local regulations and their neighbors because roosters can be vocal.
Araucana Breeding Stock
I raise Araucanas for customers interested in establishing a breeding flock. Breeding stock can include hens, roosters, compatible breeding groups and hatching eggs, depending on what I have available.
When selecting breeding birds, I look beyond egg color alone. Overall condition, conformation, vigor, temperament, feathering and the qualities important to the customer’s breeding goals should all be considered.
Araucana Blue Eggs
The most recognizable feature of the Araucana is its blue-shelled eggs. Blue egg color comes from a genetic trait affecting shell pigmentation.
Egg color can vary somewhat between individual hens and breeding lines, so I do not describe every Araucana egg as being exactly the same shade. Depending on the flock, buyers may see different blue tones while still getting the characteristic blue-shell appearance.
Araucana Hatching Eggs
I also raise Araucanas for customers interested in hatching eggs and developing their own flock. Fertility depends on the breeding flock, season, bird condition and other management factors, so hatching eggs should always be handled and incubated correctly.
If you are buying Araucana hatching eggs, I recommend having your incubator prepared before the eggs arrive and following the manufacturer’s temperature, humidity, turning and ventilation recommendations.
Feeding Araucana Chickens
I feed my chickens according to their stage of growth and production. Chicks need an appropriate starter ration, growing birds need suitable grower feed, and laying hens require a balanced layer ration.
Fresh, clean drinking water should always be available. Depending on the flock’s environment, chickens can also benefit from supervised access to forage and appropriate supplemental feed.
Housing Araucana Chickens
Araucanas need a secure chicken coop that protects them from predators and harsh weather while providing enough room to move naturally. I recommend clean, dry bedding, good ventilation without dangerous drafts, suitable nesting areas and secure nighttime housing.
For laying hens, nesting boxes should be positioned in a quiet, protected area where eggs can be collected easily.
Araucana Chickens for Backyard Flocks
Araucanas can be an appealing choice for backyard chicken keepers who want blue eggs and an unusual heritage-type chicken. Their distinctive appearance also makes them attractive to hobby poultry keepers.
Before purchasing, I recommend checking local rules concerning backyard poultry, rooster ownership, flock size and animal housing.
Araucana Chickens for Homesteads
For a homestead, Araucanas can provide both the enjoyment of keeping distinctive poultry and a source of home-produced eggs. Their blue eggs can also add variety to a mixed-color egg basket.
I recommend combining Araucanas with other compatible breeds when building a diverse homestead flock, provided the birds have adequate space and compatible temperaments.
Araucana Chickens for Farms
I raise Araucanas for customers who want distinctive chickens for farms, small poultry operations and breeding projects. They can be maintained using standard chicken-management practices, including secure housing, appropriate feeding, clean water and predator protection.
For commercial-scale egg production, customers should compare breeds according to their specific production goals rather than choosing solely because of blue egg color.
Free Range Araucana Chickens
Araucanas can enjoy supervised free-range or pasture access where conditions are appropriate. Allowing chickens to forage can provide opportunities for natural behaviors such as scratching, pecking and searching for insects and vegetation.
Free-range birds still require secure nighttime housing, fresh water, supplemental nutrition and protection from predators.
What Do Araucana Chickens Look Like?
Araucanas are recognized for their distinctive appearance. Depending on the line and standard being followed, they may have features such as pea combs, ear tufts and a naturally rumpless appearance.
Because Araucana standards differ between countries and breeding traditions, appearance can vary. This is also why buyers should distinguish genuine Araucana breeding stock from Easter Eggers or other blue-egg crosses.
Araucana Hens vs. Roosters
Araucana hens are generally kept primarily for eggs and breeding, while roosters are valuable for maintaining breeding programs and producing fertile hatching eggs.
Young chickens can be difficult to sex accurately depending on age and line. If you are specifically looking for pullets, hens, roosters or a breeding group, I recommend ordering according to the stock description and availability provided at the time of purchase.
Araucana Chickens vs. Ameraucana Chickens
Araucanas and Ameraucanas are related in the history of blue-egg poultry, but they are not the same standardized breed.
Ameraucanas were developed as a standardized American breed, while Araucanas have their own historical background and distinctive traits. Both can produce blue eggs, but their appearance, breed standards and breeding characteristics differ.
Araucana Chickens vs. Easter Eggers
Araucanas should not automatically be called Easter Eggers. An Easter Egger is generally a mixed-background chicken selected for the ability to lay colored eggs, while Araucana is a recognized breed with specific characteristics.
If your priority is genuine Araucana breeding stock, ask specifically for Araucana birds rather than assuming every blue-egg chicken is an Araucana.
Are Araucana Chickens Good for Blue Eggs?
Yes. Blue eggs are one of the main reasons I raise Araucanas. They can be an excellent addition for customers who want a colorful egg basket rather than only traditional white or brown eggs.
The precise shade and laying performance can vary, so I recommend viewing blue eggs as the breed’s characteristic feature rather than expecting identical results from every hen.
Are Araucana Chickens Good for Beginners?
Araucanas can be suitable for people who are prepared to provide normal chicken care. Beginners should understand the basics of brooding chicks, feeding, clean water, coop sanitation, predator protection and flock management before bringing chickens home.
I am happy to provide birds for both experienced poultry keepers and customers who are starting a backyard or homestead flock, subject to availability.
Breeding Araucana Chickens
Breeding Araucanas requires careful selection of compatible birds and attention to the traits being maintained. I recommend keeping detailed breeding records so you know which hens and roosters produced particular chicks.
Because Araucanas can carry distinctive traits such as ear tufts and rumplessness, responsible breeding should take breed genetics into consideration rather than simply pairing any two birds.
Why I Raise Araucana Chickens
I raise Araucana Chickens because they combine a distinctive appearance with one of the most recognizable egg colors in backyard poultry: natural blue shells. They are especially interesting for customers who want something different from standard brown-egg and white-egg chickens.
After many years of keeping chickens, I enjoy raising breeds that give customers different choices for backyard flocks, homesteads, farms and breeding projects. Araucanas are a natural fit for customers who specifically want blue eggs and distinctive poultry.
Ordering Araucana Chickens from Pure Greenland Farm

Availability can change with the season and breeding schedule. I recommend confirming the current age, sex, quantity, shipping or pickup arrangements and any applicable poultry requirements before completing an order.
