John Blehm at www.chickhatchery.com has some nice show quality type chicks. He ships a lot and would would take two days at the most to get them to Arkansas. These would be the real Ameraucanas and not the esater eggers. the difference is years of breeding them "true" Most hatcheries will throw an Ameraucana male in with 20+ mixed hens ands et their eggs. They then save the pullets and any taht lay a blue/green egg they keep for breeders. This adds color to the flock and most from this mating will lay a colored egg.

The "Easter Egg Chicken" originally came from Chile in South America, discovered by the Araucana Indians. The true Araucana
chicken is rumpless (tailless) and has a small curling tuft of feathers next to each ear. The Easter Egg Chicken (Ameraucanas) are different because they have a full beard under the beak and have a tail. Cackle hatchery offers for sale the Ameraucana or better described as the "Easter Egg Chicken:. Cackle hatchery's breeding program objectives for the "Easter Egg Chickens" are: to produce chickens with a wide variety of colors, patterns, combinations of colors, with a full beard under the beak and high egg production of colorful eggs. The color of their egg shells vary from pale blue to dark blue, to various shades of green and a few light brownish/pink eggs. Their meat is delicious and it has a taste similar to quail. We do not offer a specific color variety of this breed; however, we do breed for a wide variety of colors.

Don't let the shipping keep you from getting really good birds. Its really easy and is worth the money. I done it a few times. Worth it!

There's alot of EE owners in Arkansas...come to think of it, all over! lol
I know of 2, but they told me the other day it won't be till Spring till they have some ready to sell.
Also, if you have access to dial-a-trade or something along those lines, call it in...you never know!

Mena is a real nice area. If you drive to Mena mountain you can stay at the lodge and have a real good meal. Nice place. Great view.
