How many are breeding for Blue Australorps here in America?

Thanks to a broody Cochin, I have my first blue chicks from my splash cock, Denali, and his wives.
400
 
Thanks BluRoo Farm! I'm really excited.
I also picked up 14 BBS chicks from Kurt ( RattleSnakeridgeWV ) last weekend. I'm off to a flying start! Thank you again, Kurt! I'll get some pics up soon.
 
Kurt, I was hoping to hatch some Cochins also so I gave her 4 of each. However, The other Cochins were in with her at first and stealing eggs from her. At one point several ended up away from mom on a cold day, one Australorp, so I removed them. In the end she had 3 Australorp eggs and all hatched.
None of the Cochin eggs developed but I need to trim their butts.
 
I'll be lurking this thread until I can save up and try to breed my own! I haven't heard of anyone in Minnesota breeding any... (I'll probably have to buy some blue orps from a hatchery and start from there xP )

Or you could buy some hatching eggs from some of us who already have them and are breeding them to help you to start out?
