Easter egg is a common name that we use but has anyone wondered from where these specific eggs come from. The answer is Araucana chickens; these are able to produce eggs which are of different colors so this name is associated with them. Blue eggs are mostly laid by them but they are able to lay eggs of different colors such as green and as well as pink which is quite far from the normal ones which produces only white eggs on any condition.

The characteristic of the Araucana chickens are that of their eggs which gained them a lot of popularity as well as there are many more such as they don't have a tail and they also have some tufts of hair like stuff near their ear. They are usually said to be a cross between two species so as to get a form of chicken of some unusual variety. Strange part is that at first many people used to dye their eggs in colored water to decorate their easter baskets with colored eggs but not it is readily available. The growing conditions of these chicken is not very difficult to achieve, a warm place has to be provided for them to grow in a specific place. The temperature can be maintained by a thermometer which can be placed in the coop of the chicken. And the proper feed should be given at regular intervals. It grows at quite a fast rate and proper medical attention should also be provided for any signs of any common disease such as coccidisis. There should not be much chicken in one coop which results in a lot of pecking at each other and then bleeding which results in the introduction of a new infection in that coop and it does not let it remain a healthy place for growth.

The Araucana chickens are not easily available type of chicken. These gain a lot of interest during the Easter times as they are sold off in large quantities with a tag of Easter egg laying chicken. Though they originated in Chile but now present all over the world and it can be such an amazing hobby to bring up a Araucana chicken.
