Oh norm I'm sorry i sold her within 10 minutes of me posting that message. I'll be soon hatching - I've got 3 roos on 8 girls right now....need to divide them up and get rid of one roo. The breeding pens are all built - they are awesome! If you like I'll put you on my coronation chick list - or would you like eggs?

Eggs would be awesome, love hatching.

Oh wow, you are awesome! i'm not coming back from my trip until the 26th, so technically i pro can't really get around to starting them till the beginning of March.. especially since I generally only make it over the bridge your way on Sundays (I still go to church in ElSobrante) I will def let you know when the time is nigh... have to like uh... put get a heat lamp and put together an incubator first too, lol.

Yippee!

OK, the thing is that I really really need them when we pick up the other chicks from you, 'member?? I will need to integrate the group of them all together, as I think that will go over better than having two lonely chicks in a brooder, and then having to add in the other six babies the end of March... NOT that I want to give up my chance, but I need to be practical. Jeremy, I am SO happy they are laying!! If you do the test hatch with these two, can we plan for four chicks for me to pick up with the other six chicks I've ordered with the group arrive March 23-24? Pretty please? I will PM you to beg more...! BTW that Tolbunt was gor-ge-ous!

Anna, neither Wellie ever squatted for me, so you are the bomb!

Oky Doky, no takers on BCM eggs?
They are goin in the bator in the am then!
I think I have a few Wellies too...
I'm gonna have plenty of babies here this spring!
If I have spares, I'll offer up the chicks later!

I'm looking for a couple of REAL TRUE BLUE egg layers (not green or light blue) ...I prefer to have started hens, if anyone knows of some around

 

[jeremy]

This is the "truest blue" that my Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas give me. Like I've mentioned before, I do have a hen that lays more of a teal egg that seems a bit more vibrant.

Honestly Ameraucanas eggs, no mayer what the variety, don't get much bluer. You'll be hard pressed to find the elusive "robin's egg blue" anywhere. Mostly because (I believe) it doesn't truly exist.

Folks can do magical things with their cameras and lighting though to make you believe otherwise... just browse the auctions here on BYC... the photo above was taken outside on a clear day in the evening, with flash.

That's a good looking egg! Eggs are amazing, the perfect marriage of form and function. Nature's purest work of art.

Well I have to say my white ameraucana lays a really robin blue egg...and did everyone see the crazy auction that finished today?

 

[jeremy]

I would love to see pictures or your "robin's egg blue" eggs laid by your birds.

As far as the auction goes, all I have to say is check out the feedback and other pictures that were posted by the seller...
