I had BBS Ameraucanas hatch yesterday. They are mostly blue.

I'm about to run a round of buff silkie eggs through the incubator.

My BBS are hatching on the 30th, can't wait!

Hello, I would be very interested in black and lavender Ameraucanas I am currently working on lavender Orpingtons with some black English Orpingtons and would enjoy the same with Ameraucanas.

Also if anyone else has some young laying hens they are just looking for a chance to get rid of please let me know! I have just started selling eggs and can't keep up with the demand! I live in Columbia and would be willing to travel an hour or so.

Wow! Seriously, Hi neighbor! Outside of Columbia here, lol...

@cree57i has a very nice trio of black Am's (cockbird and 2 hens) and I have a trio of Lavs (cockbird and 2 hens), both trios are directly from John Blehm...

I think I already got rid of most of my extra hens/pullets, other than those...

Edited to add: send either I or cree a PM for more info...

I have a bunch of chicks that will be coming of age to tell pullets and cockerels soon. Happy to send pictures of the black ameraucana too!

Of the babies or adults?

I love the baby pics, but would like to see the adults, please? Have a friend looking for blues with wider heads than his... his are a bit on the narrow side...

I'll try to get new pics tomorrow. I have been more focused on breeding for egg color than body type though. Not sure how fat their heads are.

Understand, completely... and probably not every day someone asks if your birds are fatheads or not, lol!

Hi. Sorry to jump on the end of a multi year thread but I am hoping you can help. I am in Manchester. I know there is, or was, a place selling chicks that was run at the home of some local veterinarians. I believe it was located in Shelbyville. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the name of the farm. Does anyone here know it?

I have not had chicks for several years now, but my youngest is finally in remission and we are ready! Thanks all for any help.

I had a feeling @RavynFallen was gonna answer that one lol. TSC here in Manchester actually does a really good job of taking care of their chicks.
