Anyone have true Ameraucana hatching eggs or can recommend someone on here you were pleased to buy from?

Bhep Message her privately, please tell her Sally sent you!

She packs well and sends quickly, but still edit the letter in the hatching 101 requesting how you would like your eggs shipped. Hatching 101 article in egg collection section.
And she has really great stock!

Thanks Sally, I'll be patient. I know you are busy. I just purchased some eggs and I think only 2 out of the 15 are growing in the bator. When I candle them the fat end looks really weird, I'll have to take a pic and post tonight. I'm disappointed but also know shipped eggs are a gamble. I really want a few lavender Ameraucanas so I appreciate the help.

WOW you know Children absolutely AMAZE me!

I told Lucas to watch me tie his shoes, I did it slowly two times and then asked him to try!
He crossed that off his TO LEARN LIST!! yes he has one with a few basics for Kindergarten on it!
More of a Mommy Daddy Do list for him!

Wow I have been trying to teach my 6yr old to no success. She even told me we should just give up and get no tie shoes. What!!! We are not quiters. We will tie these dang shoes or you will never get another pair! Well maybe not really but she got the point...I am ready to give up at least for a while. It is pretty much flip flop season.

Thanks Sally, I'll be patient. I know you are busy. I just purchased some eggs and I think only 2 out of the 15 are growing in the bator. When I candle them the fat end looks really weird, I'll have to take a pic and post tonight. I'm disappointed but also know shipped eggs are a gamble.

I might know some one...BRB (for real I promise)

hey Im back .... I am haveing a hard time with that breeder that sold me the small dirty eggs... with no extras! in a nut shell after my very polit email to them I did not recieve a responce so I sent another more to the point but still nice (I thought) and then they totally denied everything....accused me of blackmail... said they never mis represented them selves and I should have know better..... so I am going to show you the email where he stated they were standard sized not bantams...... He said in his last email that citron hamburgs only come in bantam sized and I should have know better (para phrasing) but here is our conversation Sorry! this will be the last email today! haha....two questions 1) Are the citron hamburgs standard size ? Which is just a bit smaller than a normal chicken and NOT bantam sized... right ? 2) would you be able to do just the 4 citron eggs for next week??? if possible what would the cost with shipping be? HI Ann, I would consider them bantam but that's because I deal with gigantic Brahma and oprington lol.They are standard size for Hamburg . Yes we could do the 4 citrons for next week. I forsee them beginning to lay after this awesome upcoming weekend. Cost would (edited out cost)

Thanks you so much!

he states standard size for Hamburg not cirron hamburg.... so would you think these would be standard sized or bantam eggs???????

​

Being one of the breeders that sold you these eggs, it is clearly stated in the email that you cut and pasted that we do consider these birds bantam. As far as the extra eggs, you originally stated you wanted the eggs in late May, and then contacted us and said you wanted them over a month earlier. We only have one breeding pair of this breed and get a max of 5 eggs a week. You ordered 4 eggs, so to get eggs of a decent age extras were not an option. You did not ask for and you were not told there would be extras. Usually you only see extra eggs offered in auctions or with lower cost breeds, this was not an auction, it was a direct sale. If we have extras, we ship them from time to time. We stopped our own hatching of this breed to grow the flock to get your eggs when you wanted them and packed them as you requested. As far as the eggs being dirty, these birds are inside in a large cage and get their bedding cleaned every other day so the eggs couldn't have been extremely dirty. Pictures of these birds are on our website, which you viewed before contacting us about them. After contacting us with the above complaints, you then sent us an email with demands that needed to be met to keep our name off of this forum, which we call blackmail. There was no duping of a customer on our part. You were told they are bantams, which as far as we know, is the only size for this color unless there are projects to develop a standard size. When customers contact us for a particular rare breed or color, it is the it is the understanding that they know what they are purchasing. We just wanted to tell our side since there were only parts of the 25 plus emails shown above. There was no letter of demand to make the purchase right. However, you did demand 4 ultra rare eggs for the price of 1 plus shipping to keep you from "throwing" our name out there on this forum. It seems like no matter what we would done with this transaction you would not have been happy. We shipped over a month early, we went above and beyond on packing the eggs in poly foam, with this side up, arrows on the box and the eggs pointed down (with just bubble wrap we've never had a broken egg yet and close to 100% hatch rates for all shipped eggs).
