I just have to laugh at DS#4... he put the 4 Ameraucanas lined up together on the floor and said, "This is UNBELIEVABLE!... 1 Wheaten roo, 1Wheaten pullet, 1 Blue Wheaten roo, 1 Blue Wheaten pullet!, What are the odds of that???!!!"
I told him astronomical, and not to count his pullets before they crow!
What cute babies! Now Im wishing I would have got some Am's from Melissa as well. After my PM telling her what I wanted I started second guessing myself. I was thinking "Well I could email her back right now and ask for just a few Am's. Hubby would never know." The longer I sat at the PC I started writing her another PM, I finally had to leave so I wouldnt go crazy. I was going nuts until she emailed me saying she had sent them off. I was suriously thinking about driving over there just to get some. But I knew that would be just horrible!!
I would have prob. come home with all kinds chicks/chickens.
I just wish we could have had some favs hatch. The soonest we'll be allowed to incubate again will be September. I figure if we put 24 eggs in the bator every 7 months we should always have plenty of eggs and plenty to incubate... that's if the roosters aren't too loud and I can get 3 breeding pens built and not get turned in!

He may be on to something! We had someone with Wade Jean Black Copper Marans contact us about a trade for GCMs egg for egg... well we weren't looking for more chickens but.... some deals are just too good to pass up... Anyway, out of 8 eggs 4 hatched and guess what???? Three pullets and a cockerel! Now that is astronomic! Can you say Quatro?
You would be better off with three Ameraucana pullets and a cockerel for sure though.
