I ordered 10 Araucanas from McMurray and everyone loves them. People think that they are fascinating! I get alot of money for the eggs and my friends thought that they were funky. Buy some! They're really great and tame!

We ordered 25 Araucana chicks and just love them! My 5 year old and 8 year old were so excited over the first blue egg that you would have thought it was pure GOLD. Everyone thinks we have the most beautiful flock because they are all so different in their colorations. You will love the pure novelty of these handsome birds!

I ordered my Aracana day old chicks on a friday afternoon, and by sunday afternoon I had my 26 Beautiful little chicks. They are all so healthy and strong. All of them have the nicest assortment of colors I've ever seen! I will recommend McMurray Hatchery to all of my friends! I have a new Favorite site! Thank You, Cheri

Last year I ordered 3 Araucana chicks along with others in my order. I love seeing the green eggs in my fridge. While the other hens have stopped laying for a while, I can always count on 2 green eggs a day in the nest box. Every kid we know wants to take one to school for show and tell. Love this site!

I live on a farm in Somerset County,PA. I ordered 2 araucana hens. In this area the people that I sell eggs to are so amazed with their magnificent green color. Thank you Murray Mcmurray Hatcheries!

We have 8 araucunas and love them! We live on an island in SE Alaska and our hens weather the winters fine. They are predictable layers, and matured months before the rest of our hens who were hatched at the same time! Would highly reccomend to all chix owners as good producers.

I started out with 12 Araucana hens and a rooster a few years ago and now have 25 hens and 3 roosters. They are amazing birds - always friendly and helpful in the garden. All my neighbors love to see the variety of shades that their eggs come. I am extremely happy with the wonderful quality of your chickens - Thanks!

I have two Araucanas and they are my best chickens. They are sweet-natured and love eating from my hand. They were the first of my chickens to lay eggs and they lay everyday.

Thanks to Murray McMurray and their staff for the wonderful colors and strong strain of Araucanas. Sean Carl Wheatland OK,

My 25 + 1 surprise Araucanas arrived today. They are all healthy and eating well. I am looking forward to finding out what my surprise exotic chick is.

I purchased 10 of your chicks from our local feed store. I took my Americana pullet to the fair and won 4-H grand champion. This is my first year with chickens. I am very pleased with "Chipmonk," thank you McMurray. She will remain my pet long after she stops laying. The one surprise was the Americana rooster, he is abosultely beautiful, what colors! What a strut! What a crow! The Cornish Crosses I purchased also won grand champion in meat chickens. At four months all weighed out over 12 pounds. The rooster was 16+ pounds. All of your chicks were healthy and grew into great healthy chickens.

We ordered a set of 25 assorted chicks last year. Two turned out to be Americanas. One is a beutiful golden hen, with the most gentle and active personality. The other turned out to be a handsome red and black rooster. His full beard, rich color, and contrasting willow green legs make him a pleasure to behold. He attached almost immediately to my wife and has stayed that way. He even tries to feed her and protect her whenever she is in their pen. We thank you all for these great little birds.

These birds are one of my favorites. They are excellent range feeders, consistently lay a large green/blue egg - even in the winter and have the most personality of all my chickens. I never have a problem selling as many of their eggs as I can spare. Their wide variety of colors makes for a beautiful flock as well. Thanks! Penny

We ordered a mix of Americaunas and Black Stars in November. They arrived in excellent health and have remained so. Despite the dreadful weather we've been having (a foot of snow in December) they are already in early January nearly as big as our older pullet who started laying last month. We sold/gave away a dozen and everyone has been so pleased with their chicks. Several of our Ameraucanas have started growing "muffs" They are all big beauties.

Your chickens lay blue eggs! That is what everyone says when I sell them eggs. I ordered six Araucanas/Americanas two years ago. I liked them so much I ordered ten more this year! The blue and green eggs are a hit among my egg customers; they actually fight over them! Not that they taste any different, they just look good. The hens are very sweet; they follow me everywhere! I have named them all after famous composers; Bach, Tschykovsky, Beethoven etc.!

These Ameraucana hens are wonderful as a laying chicken. They are highly intelligent and very affectionate if hand raised. They weather very well in both hot and cold. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a good and stable breed.

My husband And I bought 25 chicks in 2001 and I think They were an extremely geat choice. They are laying everyday and we have hatched quite a few. These are very friendly chickens and the assortment of colors was great. Lisa ArmstrongCaddo, OK

Love those Easter eggs which come year round!! I didn't have one extra egg to sell for Easter. They are favorites with folks because when hard-boiled, their yolk doesn't crumble when sliced as with other types of egg.Ms. Sandy ClarkChester, NH

I love the diffrent colors of birds that you get. I have 5 Americanas and they will always come up and talk to me and follow me around they are my favorite by far of all my breeds i have. In fact one of my hens hatched out a cluch of baby ducks for me! it was so fun to watch them walk after her. I also love their eggs! I always enjoy going to collect the eggs just to see what color egg i will get that day.Justine Sandy, OR

This is a fabulous breed. You'll buy them for the amazing colors of their eggs, which come in all sorts of shades of green and blue. Then you'll discover that the hens are very docile and extremely reliable and regular layers of large eggs.James PrekegesRedmond, WA

We live in a fairly cold climate and our Araucanas have been the most reliable layers, even in the winter. We had one hen who laid for three years. They are also very pretty with all their different colors and lay bluish to olive green eggs.

"Our dad ordered 25 Araucana chicks a week ago. They came in today, and my sister Sophia and I are all over them!" The little fluffballs are healthy and happy, but they are now big and strong hens! They are so tame, they eat from my hand every morning, and from Sophia's each evening. ROCK ON, McMURRAY!!!

I love these gentle birds. They are more gentle than the Australorps we ordered. I am so pleased with the quality of all the chicks ordered from McMurray through our local hardware store.

We have raised Black Stars for the last 5 years or so. Last spring week got 6 Aracunas and 6 Marans just for fun. My wife gives away eggs to the little old ladies at church each week. They are delighted with the combination of the dark brown and blue/green eggs she puts together. The Aracunas are very distinctive in our flock and are friendly hens and less flighty than other breeds. We did notice that the Aracunas took about an extra month to begin laying compared to the other two breeds week bought in 2009. Not critical but interesting and since then have been laying right on schedule even through the winter with proper light and heat. By the way, our flock is free range and the Aracunas do a good job of foraging and are smart enough to not get eaten by predators.

Forty years ago I ordered a dozen Araucana chicks from Murry McMurray. I kept them on my farm in Southern West Virginia. They were by far the best chickens, not only for their extraordinary beauty but their proficient egg laying abilities. My chickens produced green, blue, pink and even goldish colored eggs and since I raised them organically, I could sell their eggs for a premium and could have easily sold more if I'd had them. We could honestly say that we ate eat green eggs and ham! Murray McMurray is a fantastic company and one I'd recommend to everyone. Their products are the best!

About 20 years ago, my mother had a few "Easter Egg Chickens". They were great layers and their eggs came in a variety of colors, including differing shades of blue, green, yellow, and pink. The hens were very friendly and helpful in the garden. My wife and I are building a hen house at this time. As soon as we are ready, we plan to order at least 10 hens and a rooster. We also plan to order other breeds as well. My parents and I were very impressed with the rapid delivery of the chicks they ordered which is why I plan to order from you as well. They were all healthy, even the extra one. Thank you and be looking for my order soon.

I got a rooster with my last order of Aruanas and he is delightful. He is one of the nicest and smartest roosters I've ever had. He was so smart and curious I thought he was a hen chick. His shawl is exquisite, and he is a true gentleman. His name is Georgie Porgie Puddin and Scrapple, courts the hens and makes them cackle.

I love my chickens! I had one when I was a young child and was telling my two boys about the chicken we had that layed green eggs. They did not believe me, so I found you on-line and ordered them. It was exciting picking them up at the Post Office and have been very happy with them. We bought the protein suppliment to add to the water and it worked great! The are now 4 weeks old and very health. Thank you!

Our Araucana pullets are most definitely a wonderful part of our flock. They began laying at about 5 and a half months of age, and their eggs are a wonderful "Tiffany blue". Our next flock will certainly include a dozen or so of these girls!

I ABSOLUTELY love this breed! They are very hardy and have the hardest shells. I definitely would recommend this breed for anyone!
