It's all good. And thank y'all for the replies. I will just have to wait a little longer... I was PMing someone on here actually only 2 hours from me but they had eggs committed out for 3 weeks and I didn't want to wait, hence ebay... And to be honest I didn't really pay much attention to the...
here is my email to her:
Are you sure these are only full blooded Ameraucana eggs? They have a green tint and according to the Ameraucana web site they can not be full if they have a green tint.. They would be Easter Eggers. Which are they? Could you send me pictures of the rooster and hens...
