Andalusian

Home > ... > Fancy Chicken Breeds > Andalusian

The Andalusian originates from the Mediterranean. The bird has bright white earlobe and is a flighty bird and a non sitter. The Andalusian has reddish – brown eyes and don’t like being confined. Despite being clear blue with black lacing around the edges some fanciers argue that the colour is really black but gives the Illusion of slate blue. Through the mating of two blue birds, it is possible to obtain offspring with black feathers and splash. The ideal colour is slate blue as the other two are not eligible to be shown.
