Originating in Mexico 2000 years ago, Blue Slates were taken to Europe and then brought to the American Colonies. They were recognized as a standard breed in the U.S. in 1874. They come in three color phases: solid black, solid blue and blue flecked with black spots. Many times the birds are a combination of each phase coloring. These beautiful birds are of medium size and quite rare.

Customer Product Reviews
Easily my favorite breed of fowl. Very inquisitive and intelligent. The hen was not only friendly and affectionate, but extremely broody, hatching several clutches a year (as well as a few chicken eggs too), and an excellent mother. She could often be seen walking around with a chick or two on her back! My only complaint is that I don't have room for anymore!!!!!
