private message me

no I didn't keep any roos. I already have 3 these are just for fun, I dont plan on breeding them

5 more days until lockdown! I'm getting impatient I'm posted a couple weeks ago, Im incubating marans, ameraucanas, possible olive eggers, and some silkie x purebred ameraucana mixes. This is the first time Ive hatched silkie x ameraucanas, last time I did silkie x marans and they all came out...

I consider the ameraucanas my line, I have been working on them for years.

Im gonna have to join this hatchalong! I just set some eggs last night. 9 ameraucanas, 8 marans, and 7 silkie x amer or marans mixes
