Araucana chickens are thought to have originated in Chile. Araucanas come in a variety of colors: black, silver, white, red, blue, buff and more recently, lavender. Araucanas tend to be friendly and calm and are well adapted to both the heat and the cold. Araucanas lay small blue eggs, and are often confused with Ameraucanas (Ameraucana / Easter Egger). Ameraucanas lay medium to large size blue and green tinted eggs, whereas Araucanas only lay small blue eggs. Araucanas also have a bantam (miniature) counterpart.

Ameraucana chickens are wonderful backyard flock members. They are friendly and can sometimes be shy, but seem to enjoy human company. Ameraucanas tend to be hardy in both cold and hot climates and come in a variety of colors, including white and gray, buff, and dark brown. Ameraucana hens lay beautiful blue and/or green eggs, which are medium to large in size. Ameraucanas are often confused with Araucanas (Araucana), which only lay small blue eggs. Ameraucanas also have a bantam (miniature) counterpart.
