Hello,
I've decided I'm getting chickens again this winter/spring, and I have fallen in love with the Ameraucana breed. I've searched through many hatcheries/craigslist ads, and a lot of them are just easter eggers, or they're extremely expensive with shipping minimums (I know, it's winter.) I wanted to see if anyone else knew of any breeders near Atlanta GA, or hatcheries who don't want an arm and a leg for chicks? Mypetchicken and Meyer are the only two that I've found so far, hatchery wise.
Side note- I'm having a lot of trouble finding a breed standard to compare Ameraucanas to Easter Eggers. I'm not looking for show quality Ameraucanas, but I definitely want purebred, I'm snobby like that. Any tips?
