I was going to suggest FS as well. She typically carries all except the LO, OE and Blue ameraucana. They are much harder to find around here. She might have a lead for a private breeder and will order some for you.

Suncatcher,

What a cute face on the little gosling. Congrats on the new baby.



I really should take some more pics of Grandma. She has changed a lot. Her feathers on the body are mostly white with a red edge to them now and her head went all red too. Pretty little monster.
Been really busy with the yard work whenever Mother Nature wishes to let me get some done.

They are probably not all fertle but with the four that i hatched in the incubator and then hers. I am going to be over run.

I did not spray them with water. From the ones that were fertle bi didnt have too bad of a hatch rate. 75%.

Day 20

No pips, no noise and no movement this am, humidity is 70% and temp steady at 99-100. I am starting to wonder, I know they could start at any time. Common babies!

Hang in there. They will come. They just want to be on time. Mine are generally early and once they start they hatch out like popcorn. By the end of 24 hours. The ones of mine that havent pipped. Generally dont.
Patience grasshopper. All things come to those that wait.
