Araucana Eggs


Araucana, is a breed of poultry which lays blue and blue/green eggs that can trace it's descent from two rare South American types of chicken - the Collonca, and the Queteros. The Collonca is a naturally clean faced, rumpless, blue egg laying fowl. The Queteros is tailed, has ear tuffs and usually lays a pinkish brown egg. The cross between the Collonca and the Queteros resulted in the Araucana. Above is a picture of some Araucana eggs.
