This time of year, they are slammed. Most of the contacts I've tried to make have been over the winter, usually slow season for breeders. I can understand spring-fall not being able to be contacted, completely understandable. Of course, winter comes and while the breeding/show season is...
I've actually emailed or called all the listed breeders on the ABC directory for quite some time now (over a year). Shipping birds can be expensive, but in the end, it's worth it if that's what you have to do to do what you want. ;-)
As far as the stock goes - you have to get reliable...
No, no - no apologies! At least you responded! It's been like pulling teeth from an angry rhino to get responses or replies. We can't get the coloration recognized without more breeders dedicated to producing quality birds, and getting them out there into shows.
Hi all,
I feel like I'm trying in vain to get started in breeding Lav Ameraucanas - or ANY Ameraucanas at that.
I bought what I was "told" were Ameraucana chicks earlier this spring, and they've turned out to be EEs. So they're in with the rest of my production layers, and I like the birds...
