Where to find wheaten/blue wheaten Ameraucana hatching eggs

[Leelah]

Did you look through the breeders list for the Ameraucana Alliance or the Ameraucana Breeders Club? You should be able to find someone that ships.

Ok thanks

Hope you find some! They are a sweet but challenging variety to work with but they desperately need more long term breeders!

I know a friend who has EEs crossed to a Blue Wheaten Ameraucana rooster available. Not what your looking for, but she does hope to get a hen and have pure chicks and eggs available as soon as possible.
This is her rooster-

Why would you say they are challenging? I am planning to breed them so although I may not be long term they would get another breeder! I also decided to go with bantam wheaten ameraucanas instead

Because the Males and females are sexually dimorphic (males and females are different colors) so it’s a balancing act keeping the light creamy wheaten color the SOP calls for in the females and full color beards, clean hackles/no red bleeding in the chest and haunches for the males. And don’t forget about type! Type always comes first but sometimes with Wheatens you sacrifice color faults for a good typed bird.
Bantams seem to be farther along with type/color though. Best advice I can give is hatch as many as you can house and feed and cull hard.

Welcome to the breed!

Ok thanks, I am not the person to cull not quite SOP chicks as my chickens are pet that I can breed and sell egg/chicks. I hope I find some good quality ones.
Thank you for all the info!

“Cull” doesn’t always mean kill. I ”cull” hens to pet homes If they don’t meet my expectations. Usually cull just means to not have them in your breeding flock. Lots of breeders have a cull pen for just eating eggs or fun egg color projects.

Oh yes sorry I always forget that. Thanks again for all your help, hopefully I can do justice to the breed breeding them
