Do I dare ask why it closed?

We can't discuss moderation but someone on that thread broke some rules.

The thread was going so well too!

It was the thread starter so that may have been part of it.

I was very sad.

Hubba Hubba! When that blue boy gets some girls please let me know...They are all so beautiful!

Will do! He will probably go into a pen with some of my big, beautiful blacks so their offspring will be black and blue.

About a year ago I asked you guys for input re your favorite blue egg layer. I got a lot of great input and what I decided to do was get a couple of each Ameraucana, CL and U of A Blues and see what I like best. I started with the AM and I am not a fan. I know some lines are mellow and my girls were broody raised and that has an impact on friendliness but they were seriously wigged out flighty. I still have one because she is so pretty...Black head blue body...but am ready to give CCL a look this broody season. I am looking for girls that tend toward the silver and cream side rather than the brown. Anyone know where I can get some hatching eggs?

I have an idea where I might be able to get some U of A Blues

I know they tend to be flighty too but I can forgive a lot for a true blue egg.

I don't have any of the U of A blues but I agree with you about the Ameraucanas. I have a blue wheaten, 2 lavender, and had 1 sliver. None of them were good layers and all are not very friendly. I also have several crested cream legar and cream legbar mixes. I will say that they are fantastic layers of big blue eggs but are flighty. If I had to vote between the two, I would go with CCL. I have some fantastic CCL/Pita Pinta mixes that are laying copious amounts of green eggs!

Maybe I just don't have the right colors of AMs! I will say that my BW is an excellent broody. That earned her a place in the flock last year!
