From the Meyer site:
"The color blue does not breed true. The chicks hatched from blue parents can be blue, black, or splash. You will receive hatchery choice colors when ordering."

Hopefully they will choose at least one Blue, they don't sell Black or Splash separately.

This is a small local 'breeder', I don't think I'll get to 'choose', tho I did make clear I wanted black. And asked specifically if she kept the breeds and colors separate, and she assured me she did(not that that means anything).
But it really doesn't matter what color the Am's are, as long as they lay a good blue egg.

It's all a crap shoot, but I've wanted both these breeds since I started 7 years ago.
This will probably be the last chick purchase I make.

I would think a small breeder would give you what you ask for unless it just happens that none of the chicks are Black.

I, too, am looking primarily for the true blue eggs from the 2 I ordered. I won't complain if I get a Black or Splash, that does make it easier to tell them apart. As expected all my EE's lay a shade of blue-green. The oldest one leans a BIT toward olive so I always know her egg.

Also messed with Faux Bois.

Faux Bois Not sure what that is. Nice looking candle logs.

Yes they are. Sometimes when you are down a good sit with the chickens can help.

Amen. I used to love drinking coffee with my chickens in the morning. Sooo theraputic.

Faux Bois Not sure what that is.

Faux Bois (faux wood ) is an art form that began in France over 175 years ago, a tradition of creating furniture from iron and cement and stone with the look of real wood.

Donald Tucker is who I trained with, he's gone now.

So that was cement. It did look like real wood. Very nice work aart.

He was a great artist and great guy.
He ran a great forum where I learned a lot, then was able to take a week long work shop with him in Tennessee.

Well, the use the term 'breeder' tongue in cheek.......just some woman with an incubator and a bunch of (hopefully) pure breeds.

Did the fertile eggs come from her flock? If so I guess she's a breeder
