    Does anyone breed silver Ameraucanas?

    Yeah neither has any available. Freshly picked chicks has blue mixed in hers too she told me. GypsyHen said after it cools down her hens will be laying again. I guess it's just a waiting game for weather.

    Quail foot problem at hatch - fixable or cull?

    Yeah I'm going to give it just a bit of time to see how it does first. I had a quail with curled toes and after 24 hours learning to walk it fixed itself.
