Prairie Bluebell Egger (R)

Developed by Hoover's Hatchery, this breed lays a novel blue egg.

The PBE was created by crossing Araucanas and White Leghorns making it an active bird that is very good at foraging.

They are lightweight and Hoover's claims this bird produces higher quality eggs than a pure Araucana.

This breed has a wide variety of stunning plumage colors so you can count on having the most beautiful flock in town!
