Google says: "The Arkansas Blue is an experimental breed developed at the University of Arkansas. The breed is a cross between a White Leghorn and Araucana and lays blue eggs but is not yet available to the public for purchase. They have a pea comb and yellow legs but have no tufts, muffs, or beards." https://petkeen.com/chicken-breeds-lay-colorful-eggs/Hello, is there anybody who knows anything about Arkansas blue chickens?
I read that they are not available for public purchase, are there any breeders willing to ship eggs to Washington state?
They say they resemble a blue Sumatra, but they are a mix of Aracauna and white leghorn, are they good birds egg laying wise and are they hardy?
Also are Aracaunas is hard to buy or can you get them at tractor supply or any regular feed store.
I read that Aracaunas don’t live very long and only a few survive because of the tufts on their cheeks, but they are fine they say if you can get them to live past hatching.
What's to stop someone from obtaining a White Leghorn and and Araucana and cross-breeding on our own?
