The rooster in the add has dark legs... but do they have a green tinge?
Shudder
If those dark legs are pure slate... yeah, might be nice to add him in.... depending on what his face looks like.
If those legs have green in them... don't add the nightmare of even more unwanted genetics.
Isn't Ameraucana... or at least the color looks like a wheaten, but then the hens are clear EEs, and then the poster says the rooster is a Wyandotte, or whatever it was...
Anyway....
Nice looking bird, but high price for whatevers.
My bantam Ams lay in the "well enough" category, but make up for not laying at all in fall and winter ey being cute, great broodies, and all (male, female, all ages) are perfectly mannered for flock raising chicks.
My bantam Ameraucanas like to go broody. Every spring we let one hatch out a set.
I don't think I ever had a standard sized Ameraucana want to go broody. (I used to have BBS in standard)
Yes, they are much harder to candle than white eggs.
Even when the blue is very light it is all of the way through the shell, so makes it harder to look inside.
