Does anyone know of a Blue Andalusian breeder in New England? Thanks.

Or New York? Or anywhere for that matter. Where did you all get your Blue Andalusians?

So far, I have only been able to get then from hatcheries. I am still trying to aquire some vintage old line stock, but haven't been able to as of yet. My current hatchery stock is weak on the feather lacing. I still have a couple of hatcheries I haven't purchased from yet. Hopefully theirs might be closer to the standard.

Only one that I know of. A man in Maine who is older now. Has been breeding them for years. Only has 2 males and 4 females left. (oops. My mistake, this gentleman has Buckeyes, not BA. His info on the HLF pages listed below)

Talk to Laceyblues who writes on the BYC " Heritage Large Fowl " discussion. Also read the 4 latest pages on that thread as we were discussing Andalusian Blues.

I took over John Hayes Andalusians. They are probably the oldest line in the country [50+ years]. Both Butch Gunderson & Tom Robuck have gotten birds from John in the past. Jamie Matts' daughter has some of these as well as do a few others in this area. I will be breeding from 6 females & 3 males for the upcoming year & expect to have some available. PM me to be added to my contact list for the spring.
