Ameraucana thread for posting pictures and discussing our birds

I bred marans into some of my own Smith x Shaffer lavs a few years back to start my lav cuckoo project. So that person would be me. I did not keep any of the visually lavender silvers- no room for a whole separate project. But the chicks were lav chipmunk. (lavender silver duckwing)

My projects should be about 1/16th marans now. The ones in the incubator now will be 1/32nd, so I wouldn't consider them crossbred mutts. And I give most of my project eggs away. I don't sell them trying to deceive people so I can make money.

When I sell anything, at least 20% goes to the Nature Conservancy.

Very true!!

But I can't imagine raising EEs, but then purposely trying to deceive someone by sending them pictures of someone else's Blue Ameraucanas, knowing they're going to figure it out as soon as the eggs hatch. Perhaps they also have EEs, and accidentally mixed up the eggs before shipping? There are lots of us who raise both. I don't mind putting the chick in with my EE flock, but I guess I should find a polite way of telling this person there's a problem.

Hey, I'll join! I set eggs yesterday, due to hatch on April 11. 36 eggs total, all shipped:
12 BLRW
5 Cream Legbar
5 Bantam Cochin
6 Blue Ameraucana
4 White Silkie
4 Light Sussex

I only ordered 24 eggs, but he sent 37 (I dropped one while unwrapping). So generous! I didn't have room in my Brinsea, so I had to get my old hovabator out of the attic.





So all these breeds came from the same breeder?
