I think that's what scflock is doing with his pens. Do you have a black hen?

Yes, i have two black hens from Whitmore Farms, I plan on putting some of their eggs in this spring!

The splash and black should make some very nice blues, and I'll bet that dark blue will throw a nice splash

I can't find too many pictures for some reason..but heres one hen! Lighting makes her face look purple, but i assure you its not. I'm hoping for a black too for another pen, I have a lavender I'd love to get a little further with.

Looking for some splash chicks to trade for silvers, blacks or lavenders. 5 or 10, then I can ship you your choice. I will have chciks in 30 days. I live in Northern CA. The closer the better if anyone lives near me.

Thanks

I am loving all these Ameraucana pics! One of my favorite breeds. Unfortunately we had to sell ours before we moved. Now that we are settled I can't wait to get some again. Can anyone help me find a place to order wheaten/blue wheaten chicks or eggs?

Update on my lovelies. They are so cute! I love them. What do you guys think of my founding chickens? I know there are some flaws in my boy, but I will use him to get the chocolate gene in my flock and he has a 66% chance of being split for the silkie feather type.

My girlie poo is definitely split for the silkie feather type.

They are about 3.5 months old here.

You just let me know when. I just ordered another octagon, so I will be hatching every couple of weeks. I've been talking to you a while, so I'll put you at the top of the list

Which one did you order and do you use the humidity pump? I am thinking I need to bite the bullet and upgrade since I had such horrible hatch rates last year.

Check out the breeders directory at www.ameraucana.org. Lots of great breeders.

You might want to check out my site, as well. sandcastlesfarm.com. I have wheaten and blue wheaten.

20 Advance. I have one, and 20 chicks at a time is perfect for me, I just need them more often. The pump would be nice, but for $140 I can add a little water every few days.
I tell anyone that is hatching more than just a few batches of chicks that the Brinsea is well worth the money. Ridiculously simple to use, no babysitting, and cleans up very easily after hatch. I work long hours and needed an incubator that I could set and walk away from, and this one you really can. I average over an 87% hatch rate of fertile eggs, and have hatched 100%
3 hatches will pay for the unit at $360 on Amazon

Oh my gosh! I love him! I think he's really pretty! The chocolate is very pretty! And he has a sharp eye!
