HI, I am also new. I just hatched out eggs I got off ebay from Sally, SC. I purchased 6 BBS, and received 18, so lots of extras! But being shipped eggs, only 5 made it to lock down, and 4 of those hatched very healthy chicks. I am new to hatching, it was just my second hatch, I was having trouble candling them, and I don't know how many broken air cells I had starting off. I also had eggs from another breeder in Texas that hatch, and out of 10 that made it to lock down NONE hatched. So by the time you factor in shipping and my inexperience hatching, I think I could positively recommend him. I ended up with 2 black chicks which look very correct, and have great big cheeks

a splash with little cheeks, and a lovely little blue who doesn't show cheeks yet.

I don't know it they will show any muffs or beard later if I can't see them on a chick... Good luck!

he told me he has been raising ameruacanas for over 40 yrs. and he also raises heritage rir, and aruaconas he is about 75 yrs old but you can tell he loves his chickens. and he dont mind showing and talking about chickens. but he would not let me go to his pens ,he went and caught the ones i bought. i can understand him not wanting anyone bring in something to get in his birds

LF or banatm? I know Crystalcreek, Dak, Shaffer, Chicken Stalker, Cloverleaf, Lamike, and myself have LF. I'm sure there are more I'm forgetting. Little Ameraucana Mom had an auction on the BST the other day- might still be there.

I bought 2 dozen Bantam Ameraucana eggs from LAM, and they arrived this morning and there were 11 extras!!!

Super nice, answered all my questions!! You won't regret buying from her! Not to mention awesome packing! Not one was broken, not even a scratch.

Great! I prefer LF, but would like to add some from her sometime in the future. Not sure how much I can hold in the assorted pen, though!

Oh, this is just the beginning, just the beginning!! I have LF White Ameraucanas being sent out Tuesday, and then next month ( 4/11 ) I'm getting a dozen LF Lavender Ameraucana eggs from CYSTALCREEK.

Not to mention my Olive Egger eggs and my cochins and an eggs swap I'm doing w/ a friend..which I think will be some Golden Buffs..I got a pullet from her last summer and she lays giant brown eggs, I wanted a flock of those for eggs.

That is all great! I PMed CRYSTALCREEK yesterday about Lav hatching eggs... I think that most Lav breeders on here have the nice color, but I want eggs from someone who specifically says that they are projects.
