Is anyone coming to Ohio nationals that might be selling AM's? preferably trio/quad but will do pairs. Looking for blue/black.

 

[mstricer]

I'm looking also. We will be scrapping for those

What day will you be there

Saturday morning. I'll have to work Saturday evening

My 5 1/2 yr old Ameraucana sisters were retired to the Old Hens' Coop yesterday. Snow and Nora deserve a new rooster-less existence. You can read about it here: http://www.blueroocreations.com/apps/blog/

Here is a picture of the sweet old ladies. Gypsy, who is a year older than they are, is already in there.

That's an excellent and kind idea. Looking good for their age, too!

She is lovely but is an Easter Egger, not a PB Ameraucana.

Check out this page for help on telling the difference.

Thank you, HeartMoss. They rarely lay anymore and they are showing signs of arthritis so they don't need those big males jumping their old bones.

EE is a Pure Amercauna or Arcauna crossed with another breed
Im not sure if you have an EE already and cross with another breed guess its also an EE if it has the legs etc. EEs have.I dont think color feathers have any baring on its breed

So basically if you breed any pure color with another color it becomes an easter egger because its not a pure color? And how the heck does Black + White = that? Genetics are crazy right??
