I love the big fluffy ones, too! I can't wait to get some English Orpingtons from Deann and I love love love the Cochins and Brahmas. That's why I must

I love that picture!

ok just unpacked 15 silver ameraucana eggs . changed the wafer in the bator and will let the eggs set tonight. tomorrow am in they go

How exciting! I am so envious!

Silvers are some of the prettiest chicks!

I emailed Jean (Pips&Peeps Ameraucanas) and her Silvers aren't laying well right now

Hopefully they will start producing again soon so she can send me eggs!

But the good news is that I went to Linda's house today and picked up the 17 blue wheaten Ameraucana eggs she collected for me

Hope they grow this time!

Some of the eggs are the most beautiful sky blue color! I got to see the parent birds and they have really clean hackles, which will help my lines that tend to have too much dark streaking.

Sending good hatching vibes!

Ron - Those chicks are so sweet! I pm'd you.

I keep banties, they're my favorite! I've had them (on and off) since I was a little girl. I had a RIR for a while as a kid, but she always seemed like she had less personality than my crazy little banties (it might have been the individual RIR hen, she was a hand-me-down farm hen and wasn't well socialized). Regardless, I love that I can easily carry banties around and put them on a shoulder. The small ones fit so nicely in the palm of a hand or the crook of an arm!The hen I had when I was little (Sebright & d'Uccle cross) always got treated like a teddy bear; I would literally set her in the doll house on my doll-sized wicker furniture, pour a little doll-sized teacup worth of water for her and set some berries or grass on a Barbie-doll plate, and I swear that hen would just sit there eating and drinking happily. Maybe I just keep banties for the sake of nostalgia!
I also like having smaller eggs, because I don't go through eggs all that quickly. Plus smaller chickens = less mess, less feed, and smaller holes in the garden!

I love that picture!

haha, me too! I just used a meme generator. It fits too many people here to not be made.

Hatch.upsidedown. in the smoker bator. At like 35% humidity.

Hangtown Farms, Forgive me if I didn't inderstand, I am new to BYC. Do you sell the Ameraucana chicks or raise them yourself? I bought 3 chicks in Diamond Springs but they may be a mix. If you sell the pure bearded chicks please let me know. I would like one. Thank you.

I believe Hangtown Farms just purchased and set some Silver Ameraucana eggs. I do not think he will be selling any chicks any time soon. Never count your chickens before they hatch.

If you are interested in Ameraucana chicks to purchase you can check the ABC website. Which color of Ameraucana were you interested in?

I am not sure what you mean by pure bearded chicks. Ameraucanas, Easter Eggers, Olive Eggers, Faverolles, Silkies and more I am sure all have beards..? I am not sure you can buy just one chick though...

Oh, and
