Best Answer

Ameraucana chickens are fairly early maturing and can start laying their first eggs at around 7 months old. They are known to be average to above average layers. Production will slow during molt. Egg production will peak after the first molt at around 14 months old and will decrease about the time the bird reaches its second year. Eggs may be produced into the third year but usually stop completely sometime during that third year.

Good healthy well cared for Araucana hens will lay 200 + eggs per year. Araucana's slow egg laying somewhat during the yearly molt but will often continue offering an egg every second day for the six week molting.

What bird lays an all blue egg?

There are two 'purebred' breeds that lay blue eggs. Those are the Araucana and the Ameraucana.Note that the standard for Araucanas differs in Europe from the American standard (they are similar to Ameraucanas of American standard, but have smallish feathery head crests unlike them. They were developed in northern Scotland from Araucanas/'Easter Eggers' stranded there from a merchant ship from South America which grounded on the coast in the 1930s).Cream/Crested Legbars, one the 'Autosexing Breeds', also lay blue eggs.However, EasterEggers (a mutt chicken with a blue egglaying ancestor), can lay blue or green eggs, but do not meet the standards of the Araucana or Ameraucana.

Is there such a thing as a chicken with a beard if so what are they called and could I see some pictures of this?

Yes!! I raise Araucana and Standard Ameraucana chickens. While true Araucana do not have a beard they do sport large ear tufts and rumpless tails with yellow skin. Ameraucana breeds have both beards and tufts and white skin and also have a rump (parsons nose), Many Easter Eggers (Ameraucana cross breed) also have one or both characteristics and always have a rump.The Araucana lay blue eggs, the Ameraucana lays blue/green eggs and the Easter Eggers lay various shades of blue /green and other colors.I have provided several good links in Related links

Does chicken live for 4 years?

Yes, certainly a well cared for hen can live beyond double that age. Eight years is not uncommon for a "pet" chicken on many farms since a chicken of that age is no longer producing eggs but may very well be a good brooder hen for eggs from other members of the flock.
