I am looking to buy a dozen hatching eggs each of Brown Red and Buff Ameraucanas but the few breeders I've found on the Ameraucana Breeders Club website are all either not getting eggs yet or not taking egg orders. Is there anyone here on byc who can spare some of these awesome varieties...

Week 2, a couple days late: #1- Yellow Band- "Dorothy" if it's a girl. #2- Purple Band- "Nyx" (if it's a girl) "Nexus" if it's a boy. #3- Green Band- "Layla" if it's a girl. If either of the Lavender babies turns out to be a boy, their name will be Albus. I've always wanted a Lavender...

Week 2, a couple days late. As of today, they're in the coop brooder with the older babies. #1- Red Band #2- Yellow Band- Mumble (boy?) #3- Green Band. So, I'm pretty sure this baby is actually an Olive Egger, not a Marans. That certainly doesn't look like a single comb to me... #4- Blue...

Late for Week 3 pics, but I got them! 3 weeks, 4 days: #1- Dark Baby. Possibly a boy, and if so, his name will be Silas. Just had to throw in the pic of him trying to get the camera! He's a little character. He's the same size as my 2 week old Marans babies. Much smaller than the others. #2-...

Well, a little late for Week 3 pics, but here they are! 3 weeks, 4 days.... #1- Red Band (Wheaten? Girl) This baby was FREAKING OUT while I tried to take her pics. I ended up having to hold her. She's the only one (out of 25 babies) that had to be held still for her pics. What a spazz 🙄 #2-...

Well, here's the Week 3 pics finally...I was out of town unexpectedly for a few days, so about 4 days late with these pics. They're coming along though! Definitely have a few spunky personalities starting to shine thru! Here they are! 3 weeks, 4 days: #1- Red Band (Splash) #2- Yellow Band...

Yeah, that's what I like about the wheatens. I could tell at 2 weeks that the blue and wheaten boys were boys. The splash is just too similar to the girls' coloring though, but it is really starting to look like it's a boy...there's just too much patchy white on his wings. But the wheatens are...

Yay!!! An Ethel, I love it!!! My babies are 3 weeks and 2 weeks now. Older ones are in the coop brooder and the younger ones will be next week. I haven't gotten pics of them for about a week, but they are due for a photo shoot. Definitely have at least 2 boys, a wheaten and blue wheaten...

Started the thread for the Self Blues yesterday! Forgot to add the link here til just now. I also have a thread for my blue/black birchen marans, if anyone is interested... Here's the Self Blues...

I have threads following the growth of all my Ameraucana varieties, so I figured I might as well share my Marans progress as well. I hatched out 8 Blue/Black Birchen Marans a week ago, and took their week old pics today. Here they are! #1- Red Band (Black) #2- Yellow Band (Blue) This baby was...

Ok, here is my latest thread, following the growth of my Lavender Ameraucanas. I was able to hatch out 2 Lavenders and 1 Black Split and they are now 1 week old so it's time for their first week pics! Here they are: #1- Yellow Band #2- Purple Band (Black Split) #3- Green Band

I love broodies! I've only ever had a broody hatch out eggs once, but it was awesome to not have to worry about them. She was a great mama and definitely did all the heavy lifting, and I ended up with pretty EEs that laid light green eggs!

Hey @DebbieMarler whereabouts in N AR are you? I used to live in Fayetteville for about 20 years and moved to Waldron in 2018. Loved it up there though! ETA: Sorry if I'm being nosy, I was just wondering if you were near Fayetteville or not 😁

Same. I hatched out 2 batches of 4 varieties of Ameraucanas and some Birchen Marans last month and here I am setting more, plus I'm about to order more of the Silver Ams and then some Russian Orloffs! I've got it bad! It's that big new coop...I'm feeling the need to fill it, lol.

I've never bought eggs off eBay, although I know lots of people who have had both successes and failures with it. Just go into it knowing what you want and what to look for to make sure you're getting what you want. There are certainly some shady people out there, unfortunately, who like to take...

Ok, I broke down and went ahead and set them. 15 eggs, Amberlink cockerel over Barred Rocks and 1 Black Jersey Giant pullet. Can't wait to see what fertility is looking like! Set at 6pm, due to hatch the 22nd. Yay! More babies!

Well, I guess I'm doing another hatch too. I have friends that want some chicks and they're willing to pay for them if I hatch them out, so I'm currently collecting eggs from my Amberlink roos X Barred Rock & Jersey Giant girls so I can hatch them out some mixed babies. They also already...

So I was reading up on the Silver variety a bit more, with regards to early gender identification, and I came across this I screenshot important posts so I don't have to dig thru a bunch of stuff again. Anyway, after reading this, I went out to feed and water the babies and noticed something...

Yeah, I'm about 95% sure the Yellow and Pink are boys. They just seem so splotchy and different from the others, not to mention they're both large and have those thick legs. Pretty sure they're boys. It's all the others I don't know about because there could very possibly be a splash boy lurking...

I can't wait to see whether you're right. I really wanted Red Band to be a boy. Stands very upright a lot of the time....the rest, like I said, I have no idea.
