Overview
Meyer Hatchery's APA Class field records All Other Standard Breeds - Miscellaneous Class. McMurray Hatchery's Heritage Breed field records no. Together those two hatchery records support the displayed APA-class and breed-type fields at seller scope.
Egg records
Meyer Hatchery's Blue Ameraucana product attributes list Weekly Production as 4-6 eggs. The page stores that weekly figure as the annual equivalent 208-312 eggs per year. Meyer Hatchery's Egg Color field records Blue, Green. McMurray Hatchery's spec table independently records Egg Color as blue. The page stores blue as the canonical egg-color label.
The retained evidence supports the displayed egg records at seller scope. It does not establish a per-hen shell-color variation, a seasonal laying pattern, or a comparative egg-yield ranking against other breeds, so this profile makes none of those claims beyond what the categorical records assert.
Mature weight and laying maturity
Meyer Hatchery's Blue Ameraucana Bird Size field records Hens 5.5 lbs and Roosters 6.6 lbs. The page stores those numeric values and renders them in the chart and quick-facts table. The retained facts support only the listed sex-specific weights. They do not establish a body-size category, feed use, space requirement, growth rate, or carcass value; those subjects are deliberately absent rather than inferred from the numeric values.
Meyer Hatchery's Laying Maturity field records 18-22 weeks. McMurray Hatchery's Weeks to Maturity field independently records 22. The page stores the typed numeric range 18 to 22 weeks and the McMurray point estimate 22 weeks. The retained facts are hatchery-listed laying-onset estimates rather than a promise that every hen begins laying within that window. The page does not convert the source's figure into a month estimate or infer a growth rate from it.
Other sourced fields
Meyer Hatchery's Personality field records Friendly, Calm. McMurray Hatchery describes a docile, friendly, and quiet temperament and calls Ameraucanas a top chicken breed for families with children and urban flock owners. The page stores friendly as the canonical temperament label. The retained evidence does not establish a per-bird personality scale, a handling-instruction set, or a flock-management recommendation, so those subjects are deliberately absent rather than inferred from the temperament words.
Meyer Hatchery's Comb Type field records Pea. McMurray Hatchery's Comb Type field independently records pea. The page stores pea as the canonical comb-type label. The retained evidence does not establish a comb-size category or a winter-hardiness conclusion; those subjects are deliberately absent rather than inferred from the comb description.
Meyer Hatchery's Hardiness field records Hardy in all climates. The page stores all climates as the canonical climate-tolerance label. The retained evidence does not establish a coop-design recommendation or a ventilation specification; those subjects are deliberately absent rather than inferred from the climate words.

Flock size calculator
Enter your household size and target egg output. The calculator returns the flock size and space you'll need based on the productivity tier you pick.
Hens needed: 2
(4 × 2 eggs/week / 5 eggs/hen/week, rounded up)
Coop space: 4 sq ft (2 sq ft/hen × 2 hens)
Run space: 20 sq ft (10 sq ft/hen × 2 hens)
These are minimums. Most backyard keepers give 1.5–2× this much space, especially for run area, to allow range rotation and reduce feather-picking behavior.
Where these numbers come from
- Low tier 3 eggs/hen/week — Egg Production: 150 – 280 eggs per year www.cacklehatchery.com
- Medium tier 5 eggs/hen/week — Egg Production: 200-280 eggs per year www.cacklehatchery.com
- High tier 6 eggs/hen/week — Cackle lists White Leghorns as producing large to extra-large white eggs, with an estimated 280–320 eggs per year. www.cacklehatchery.com
- Coop 2 sq ft + run 10 sq ft per large chicken (minimum) — A small bantam chicken needs a minimum of 1 square foot of indoor space and 4 square feet of outdoor space, while a large chicken needs a minimum of 2 square feet of indoor space and 10 square feet of outdoor space. extension.msstate.edu
