I can tell you that they rarely answer their phone, sadly. The two times I have been there I have just dropped in. The last time was this past spring for some areraucana and English BBS orpington eggs to incubate.

I bought my lavender ameraucana from Eggwell farms in Welford. My pullet ended up being a rooster that turned out to be quite handsome

nah, he didn't ruin me. Actually he was like Jeckel and Hyde - sometimes sweet and other times crazy! He started to become crazy when the other roo realized he was a roo too. I think that having another roo around only amped up the fact that he wasn't necessarily the top dog. I never cowered...

I have a 12 week old lavender ameraucana that I am still having a hard time deciding if it is a pullet or roo. It is just now starting to get some tail feathers so that makes me lean towards the roo, after reading that's something common with roos. And it has a pretty red comb, but the comb...
