Blue Sumatra Chicken
At The Chicken Coop Company, we proudly offer the striking Blue Sumatra chicken. This breed is distinguished by its elegant blue-tinted plumage, long, flowing tail, and multiple spurs on its legs. These traits, combined with their regal posture, make them a stunning addition to any flock. Originating from the Island of Sumatra, these chickens are not just ornamental but are also a rare and prized breed in the U.S.
The Blue Sumatra was officially recognized by the American Poultry Association’s Standard of Perfection in 2002. Due to their rarity, only a few breeders across the United States specialize in this beautiful breed. Our breeding program produces three unique color variations: black, blue, and splash, although we only ship the blue variety. Their offspring, however, will still inherit the range of shades. With their history, beauty, and unique traits, the Blue Sumatra chicken is an excellent choice for both chicken enthusiasts and breeders.
Place your order today and feel free to contact The Chicken Coop Company if you need any further details or assistance.
