These beautiful blue fowl originated in Andalusia, a province of Spain, but have long been known in England and the United States. They are magnificent to look at with their graceful, stately carriage and delicately blue-laced plumage; and this marks them as an especially fine breed for exhibition. The ideal feather color is a beautiful slatey blue with a narrow lacing of darker blue. The male has a cape of lustrous blue-black, sometimes shading almost to a dove gray, and feathers from this are fine material for tying artificial flies. Skin color is white and shanks and toes are a leaden blue. Andalusian hens are fine layers of white or slightly tinted eggs with very little tendency towards broodiness. Both sexes have long, deep bodies, well set up, with plenty of vitality. In size they are bigger than Leghorns, about the same as Minorcas.

THE COLOR BLUE: A unique genetic feature of this breed is the constant recurrence in the offspring of not only all blue chicks, but also the black, white, and black-white colors used in the original matings many generations ago to produce these blue birds. All of these chicks carry the blue genes and when mated black on white or with other blues in turn produce many blue offspring. In our breeding flocks, however, only blue males of the finest color are used.
Approximately 50% of the baby chicks will be all blue. The other 50% will be black, white, and black/white combinations.

I realy loved the product, and would buy again. had full egg production, and am very satisfied!!

We are so pleased with our free "rare chick". "Silver" has matured into a handsome rooster now. He keeps a watchful eye over his brown egg layer hens. His proud crowing adds a nice touch around the house. "Silver" is indeed a fine example of the great birds from McMurray Hatchery.

Your Columbian Wyandottes are the best. With my Columbian Wyandotte rooster I've won grand champion 2 years at my county fair!

Despite having heard that Blue Andalusions are flighty and nervous around people, I have found our blue andalusion hen "Olga" to be an absolute delight. She has a personality all of her own, and actually comes over and "asks" to be picked up. Thanks McMurray!

We ordered Blue Andalusians from you last year and they are beautiful! We showed them in the Avenue of Breeds at the State Fair. A photographer took pictures of them and our rooster ended up being in the Midwest Millions Commercial for the Iowa Lottery! Thanks again for your great stock.
