@jerryse. I am so excited to hear of the breakthrough. I knew you would make it happen. Thats definately music to my ears. I cant wait for my new clutch to grow as they have darker legs at hatch than they have had and I am thinking maybe I made a breakthrough as well.

Glad to see you pop in! Hope your daughter recovers quickly. Sounds like you have your hands full with the animals. Maybe the girls knew you had enough to handle. I need to get you some pics of my Lavender Cuckoos from your eggs. All the chicks are doing wonderful and growing. I am excited to...

sorry edited...duplicate post

Jerry, Thanks for sharing your knowledge. As always I learn something new from you all the time.

This is the lav chick that hatched from Happy Mtns eggs. Very healthy little thing

Quote: Beautiful birds! I do love the barred bird which I guess is a rooster? Is it the only barred one you have right now? Are you finding the hens lay a nice blue eggs? This is probably a dumb question but why can you not get slate colored legs on a barred colored chicken? Do you or...

Quote: I will be happy with whatever I get from those eggs . Did you keep the black ones? They could be split for Lav or carrying the cuckoo gene. I saw the pic of the little Lav one.. thanks and Best of Luck on the next hatch. If you have anymore eggs from the Lav hen you want to sell let...

Quote: Hope you have a great hatch. Can't wait to see pics either . Wonderful start to your project with a lav cuckoo that has good leg color

After months of no blue eggs, I am happy to say that I have gotten "2" this week. Thats pretty sad, LOL. 1 egg from a new layer who is a Black/Lavender Split....lots of excitement over that one The other from my other Lavender pen whick has Blacks, Lavs, and Splits. Needless to say I am...

Very nice birds CRYSTALCREEK. I desparately need to get my pens ready so that when spring gets here the girls can lay away. Good Luck on the hatch

Very pretty White Ameraucanas

Ok, just so that this issue with my question is resolved....This is a forum where one comes to ask questions and get opinions, if it means that everytime a question is asked one is judged as you must be green, etc because of the question is it really immature. I am not here to argue or to play...

Quote: I know they shouldn't and it is frustrating. I believe(just my opinion) that alot of these flaws will keep showing up with the Lavender variety because it is a work in progress. I have a totally separate line of Lavs from another ABC Breeder so I am not that bummed, The crazy thing...

Quote: I know this is from a few days ago, but nobody addressed it. If you got feather legged lavenders they are NOT from a "great line". As far as I am concerned- there are no "great lines" of lavenders even out there yet. If I were the breeder I would want to know that they came from my...

I have some beautiful Lavender Ameraucana hens from great lines. I noticed that they have some feathers (not very many) on their shanks. I have 6-8 pullets about 6 months old. To cull or not to cull is the question. Since the lavenders are a project how long would it take to breed out this...

So Sorry, people who don't have chickens would never understand the time, work, and love that goes into such a setup.

Quote: That sounds awful, to be forced to make a hard decision like that. What happened?

I have had pretty good luck with Shipped eggs. My last shipment was from alicefelldown here on BYC she shipped 12 eggs, hen broke 1 and 8 hatched from the 11 set...needless to say I was thrilled considering she is in California and I am in NC My PO must be pretty careful or I have been lucky. I...

Quote: I have personally never heard of him. I would ask to see his adult birds and with any Ameraucana purchase I have taken literally hours to look the birds over that I was purchasing.. I live about 2 hours from there. I am just very particular when buying breeding stock. Good Luck and I...
