I started out with a variety of sexed day olds from Frey's which I picked up the same day as I picked up my Ready to Lay pullets from Pullets Plus. It was fun to get the chicks and watch them grow but rewarding to get the eggs immediately from the pullets. Then I was hooked!
I wanted a variety...
I have Ameraucana and Easter Egger (Ameraucauna/Maran) chicks for sale. Hatched November 10th so will make wonderful ready to lay spring chickens. Where are you located?
I agree! When you are told you are getting Purebred, and pay a premium to get that, that's what you expect. To receive something else feels deceitful. I paid $15 each for 6 sexed, day old, purebred Wheaten Ameraucanas. I believe I received 4 female, 2 Roo Easter Eggers. I understand that you...

I am searching for a true/purebred Araucana. I thought I finally found some but at the end of the back and forth messages he said they would lay blue, green or pink eggs. I replied that I didn't want Easter Eggers but pure Araucanas. He sent a long explanation that they weren't EE and Araucanas...
