Yeah I remember when Ameraucana eggs wouldn't sell! I think its the Lav Ameraucana craze now LOL not the Lav Orpington craze. Too bad I don't have any Lavs. Just whites and Blue/Black/Splash, oh and a wheaten pair looking for a new home

You think it's the Lavenders? Where've you been? Certainly not in the Blue Wheaten department!

. . . .

And to think, I culled my only Blue Wheaten cockerel, am using my Blue Wheatens for crossbreds, and bought em all in egg form for $40. What was I thinking?

I only have a pair of lavenders but Im eating my eggs! Maybe I should try selling a few at a time!

I don't have any ameraucanas from Hodges, but I'm pretty happy with the other birds I got from them. You can breed the siblings together, but it's good to add new blood. Roosters aren't too hard to come by.

oh ok, thanks

yeah over $200.00 for blue wheatens on one auction just for 6+ eggs. That is insane. I couldn't do it as I have had bad luck with shipped eggs.

well there is another auction just a bit further down for the 6+ blue wheaten ones just over $200.00
Both of these auctions are crazy insane. I think it is the weird extreme winter this year .......or could be that the sellers provided the right kind of teasers.

I tell you what, that picture of those dozen blue eggs in a carton is tease enough. If I could get my lavs to lay an egg that color, we'd be in business. Those are pretty!

Me thinks............ it's the pictures of those dark blue eggs....LOL I do hope it is not just the camera shot. A friend bought some on an auction because of the wonderful color shown in the photo & paid way more than she would have & was sadly disappointed when the eggs arrived. Of course the seller offered no refund. What a shame. It makes you leery................Buyer beware. If it seems to good to be true??? You know what they say!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
