We are a proud approved breeder of the Ermine Ameraucana breeding project! Our commitment to breeding to standard, quality healthy stock with good genetics has earned us a place on the official breeder list for this beautiful variety.

If you are looking to add a rare and beautiful breed to your flock, our Ermine Ameraucana are for you! Ermine Ameraucana, an exciting new breed with a stunning, unique black and white pattern, they have quickly become a favorite of all.

Our high-quality Ermine flocks have come from the top US breeders who have dedicated years to perfect this breed. We take great pride in the quality of our birds and breed to the current standard of perfection. We breed for quality and not quantity, thus the number of hatching eggs and chicks we have available each year is limited.

IMPORTANT BREED IMFORMATION:

You can expect a mix of three possible colors when hatching our eggs.

Ermine: The distinctive black and white pattern

Black: Solid black offspring

Dominant white: A unique variation of this breed and should not be confused with regressive white. Dominant white Ameraucana has pinkish legs setting them apart from the SOP white Ameraucana.

We do not guarantee certain percentages of colors, but we do have our Ermine flocks set up to ensure the best chances of hatching all 3 colors.

The Ermine Ameraucana

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.

SHIPPED HATCHING EGGS POLICY

We check our flocks fertility weekly and only ship fresh eggs that are no more than 2 days old to ensure on our end that you receive high fertility eggs and a great hatch. We ship all of our hatching egg in custom foam mailers with protective materials and also double box. Great care is given to your eggs at our farm to ensure your eggs arrive in the best condition possible. 

Eggs ship via USP or USPS Priority Mail, depending on your choice of shipment. 

We cannot guarantee how our eggs will be treated and handled while they’re in transit, nor can we guarantee delivery within a specified time after the eggs are shipped. Extreme temperatures, low air pressure in airplanes, rough handling, delays in transit and delivery, and X-ray machines can all affect the hatch rate of eggs. We do label boxes with important information stating the shipment is live contents and hatching eggs in hopes of good handling and care by the shipping carrier. We also cannot control the conditions under which you incubate the eggs. FOR THESE REASONS WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THE HATCH-ABILITY OF THE HATCHING EGGS WE SHIP. If you cannot accept and agree to these terms, please do not purchase.

To report damaged eggs, please contact us at Hello@sugarskyfarms.com. We will need not only pictures, but video of both the outer and inner box within 24 hours of receipt of package. Refunds and replacements will be at the discretion of Sugar Sky Farms after receipt of photos and video.
