I have been lurking on this board. I am in Southeastern PA and there is a great breeder of lavender and black Amerucanas near me. Heck, even his EE ( Cailifornia Grey cross with Amerucauna) are guaranteed to lay blue.Thanks for the heads up. I may just join.
For now it's back to the drawing board to try to find decent quality birds that aren't half way across the country. I will hang on to these for now and do some breeding back to brown egg layers to see if either rooster has two copies of the blue genes. They're pretty otherwise and they're the only adult chickens I have right now so no point in getting rid of em. :T And who knows, maybe hen 3 will have two blues. Knock on wood.
@FowlStuff , Blehm, you're not super far from me tbh. XD Got any chicks for sale this year?
Is Howell Michigan too far? I can recommend BJ's poultry--they have nice lavenders.
