This thread seems dead, but I'm looking for Mottled Ameraucana hatching eggs. Not splits, but mottled. Thanks, Clare.

HI, I was wondering if you still have LF GLCS? Clare

I second the recommendation for Gypsy Hen, great fertility. Also Lisa Helms https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=granite%20hills%20ameraucana&epa=SEARCH_BOX
