    Oops, sorry. I thought that previous post of mine would show up within the post regarding breeding chocolate Orpingtons.

    This spring I am planning to incubate a variety of eggs for my eclectic hobby flock, and would love to purchase some eggs from you. I had a chocolate once and she was a sweet thing. Please let me know if I may purchase some in the not too far future.

    My black laced silver is one of my favorite girls. If I ever lose her I know where to get some hatching eggs. Yay!

    Since there are some newbies here: One has to watch out for those good deals. It could be they just don't want to hassle with chickens anymore, and it IS a good deal. However, they may be older hens that aren't laying well anymore, in which case you've paid ten dollars each for a stew hen and...

    There is someone in Medical Lake who regularly posts black Copper Maran eggs and chicks on Craigslist. Keep an eye there or even post a request.

    Hey Spokane folks and North Idaho,. My neighbor and I are planning on adding some variety to our flocks. I have an R-com incubator, which has performed wonderfully. We are wondering if some back yard folks around here have some fertile eggs of interesting or rare breeds to sell. My neighbor...

    A big portion of my flock is molting, cold, dark, so yeah, not many eggs, but my Khaki Cambell ducks are laying like crazy and love the cold, it seems. Especially when their pond thaws enough to swim in it, ice and all. I have a beautiful, pure breed White Ameraucana rooster if anyone is...

    Orpingtons. Just love them. And they come in so many colors. There is a breeder in Deer Park. If I didn't already have too many, I would get some for sure.

    Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

    Thank you for stating that. I have read here numerous times about the green legs = EE, but never had they "Why?" explained. So yellow skin over a slate leg makes green, just like the pigment of brown eggs over a blue egg makes green. And yellow skinned chickens typically have yellow beaks...

    I know your struggle. I tried to break my broody Buff Orp all summer. I finally gave her some eggs, two of which she squashed. As of yesterday she has one chick and seems quite happy now. It's a Blue Andelusian-Wheaten Ameraucana cross that looks like will be black, but got the tufted...

    Been harvesting my cabbage and making a lot of sauerkraut. I still have the Ameraucana roosters for anybody that wants them. One is wheaten and is dandy looking. Filling in with lovely colors. The other two are big fellows. A black and a black Lavendar split and I don't know which is which...

    I don't know if you have Big R there, but they recently started carrying Organic feed. About $22 versus $16 per 50 lbs.

    I just finished making a LOT of raspberry jam. It's so delicious. Apricots and pineapple sounds like a yummy combination. So no? No rooster? C'mon, take a rooster.

    I too wish this thread was more active. Here's an offer for any interested party. I hatched many varieties of Ameraucana chicks this spring. Eggs were from a good breeder. I got a lot more roosters than I can use. They are very nice quality and one has already begun servicing my older hens...

    Oh that's sad. My Grandma told me a golf ball size hail hit her pig when she was a girl in South Dakota and it was always mentally not right after that. I got a mister for $11.00 at Big R and keep it on by my lilacs. The chickens hang out by it all day. The ducks won't go in their little...
