Ermine Ameraucana Hatching Eggs – The Little Dalmatians of the Coop!

Introducing the Ermine Ameraucana, an exciting new project breed that’s nearing APA approval! With their striking black-and-white speckled pattern, I like to call them my little Dalmatians.

Important Breeding Information:

Ermine Ameraucanas are not as straightforward to breed as BBS (Blue Black Splash) varieties. Unlike BBS, where Splash-to-Splash results in 100% Splash offspring, Ermine genetics work differently, making them more challenging to predict.

When hatching from my eggs, you can expect a mix of three possible colors:
✅ Ermine – The distinctive black-and-white speckled pattern
✅ Black – Solid-colored offspring
✅ Dominant White – A unique variation, not to be confused with the recessive White Ameraucana. These birds have pinkish legs, setting them apart from the SOP White Ameraucana.

Whether you're looking to add a rare and beautiful variety to your flock or embark on your own Ermine breeding project, these hatching eggs offer an exciting opportunity. Do your research, enjoy the journey, and get ready for some truly stunning birds!


About the Ermine Ameraucana project

The color genetics behind this beautiful coloration are based on Dominant White - a unique genetic twist that breeds differently than all but one other variety of APA/ABA approved poultry.

While others have developed similar lines of Ermine Ameraucanas, most breeders today work with lines that were developed by Becky Pelton of Dusty Bugs Poultry. Pelton created her line over 14 years using careful selection and bringing her birds as close to the American Poultry Association's Standard of Perfection as she could. Pelton's line is unmatched in quality or correctness. 

Pelton has submitted a proposed Standard for the Ermine Ameraucana variety and has started the process of American Poultry Association acceptance. The beautiful Ermine Ameraucanas are becoming a more common sight at APA recognized shows.

Gorgeous eggs and amazingly packed!

So happy with the ermine ameraucana eggs! They arrived super well packed and double boxed! Even with fedex somewhat rough handling of the box and leaving it sideways at my house all the eggs arrived intact! I have nine of them developing really well!

Ordered a half dozen Ermine eggs and received 7. Packed extremely well, shipped pretty much the next day after order. Cannot wait to see what happens at hatch.

The little fluffs I never knew I needed!

I was lucky enough to order half a dozen Ermine hatching eggs this year. I love ameraucanas and these little babies looked to beautiful to pass up. I received seven eggs perfectly packaged in a very thoughtful and gorgeous packing. This only increased my excitement to see what was inside. The eggs were perfectly colored and I could tell they were not pullet eggs, the eggs were clean and large. Six of the seven eggs hatched, four were Ermine and two were black. My birds are now three months old and they are even more beautiful than I ever dreamed. I am so thankful to have this great addition to my flock. Thank you Freshly Picked Chicks for such sweet tempered, adorable birds.

Hatching Eggs

I ordered a dozen and received 14 Ermine Ameracauna eggs. They were shipped quickly. Packaging was amazing, and I got 8 healthy, strong chicks out of it! So excited and will be ordering more eggs in the future.
