OK. I think I mainly understand now. Thank you!! I will be looking for a lavender rooster to use for next year instead of this Isabel one. Maybe I will try 2 pens, one with the new rooster and one breeding back and see which is better. I know it's gonna take awhile to get where I want but I'm...

Yes, you did and we had a fantastic time meeting each other and getting those babies!! They all made the trip back and are doing fantastic. The way I understand is, and correct me if I'm wrong here, Roo to Hen... *Lavender to Lavender = Lavender *Lavender Barred Roo to Lavender Hen = Barred male...

LOL, he is handsome AND he knows it! Nope, he loves it here and has never tried to leave, he's got food, water, treats, safety and ladies, he's no dummy 😉

The babies are all gorgeous and 100% have been lavender. I have Pretty Boy, the lavender cuckoo ee in with 2 lavender ee hens and 2 lavender Ameraucana hens. I don't understand anything having to do with poultry genetics but I want to improve on these. I have a new true Ameraucana rooster to...

I know it is not the greatest pic, it's from my cell phone and was very cloudy out all day today. I just got this guy today, he is definitely an Ameraucana, he's got the pea comb and slate legs like my other Ameraucanas. What I'm needing to know is if he's Isabel or what? He is lavender with...

She got to about 4 months old and was gorgeous, definitely was Isabel. And then a raccoon got her and that was that. I've had a lot of predator problems and finally got 2 LGD and solved that problem. A little too late tho 😞

Nice! You never know, they are first year grow outs, that would be super exciting though!

I will, he's one of my favorite roosters! I just call him pretty boy. Or prince pretty boy, lol

You can pick up with no regulations that I know. You guys are fun crazy. I like it here

Chicken math is REAL!! I keep buying chicks and poults I don't need when I already have more than enough of my own that I'm keeping, lol. I've got 6 lavender ee hens in with him so I will have a steady supply for a long while. I have 2 big hatches on the 7th and 14th of April

Yes. Crazy 🤪

I'm only 1.5 hours to the border North of Huntsville. I had a hard time finding anyone that had any lavender ee's but I finally found a site online. $28 straight run, $36 pullet...that's insane! I'm selling mine for $6 straight run.

Near Huntsville, AL

Unfortunately, I'm not NPIP so I can't ship eggs or chicks, yet...I'm gonna work on it I think

Chance of barring maybe? I usually just put lavender ee with pics and sell out immediately. I think they are really pretty and a happy accident that they weren't the lavender orpingtons I thought they were when I bought the eggs
