 Blue Andalusians originated in Spain, in Andalusia. As with other ancient breeds, its history is not especially clear. We do know that they were first exhibited in Britain in 1853, and were imported into the United States around the same time.

Blue chickens of any variety do not breed true. Usually, the offspring of two blue chickens will be 50% blue, 25% black, and 25% splash, and this is true for Blue Andalusians as well. The American Poultry Association admitted Blue Andalusians into the Standard of Perfection in 1874, and Blue is still the only color recognized by the organization.

Blue Andalusians are blue, black, or splash. They are tightly and closely feathered and have white earlobes like other Mediterranean breeds. They have white skin and clean legs.
