Does anyone have a colorful flock is EEs or non-standard colored Ameraucanas?

I have lost 5 hens to a predator and so I am looking for some eggs. I would like blue eggs, fertilized by a blue egg layer.

We have a fairly colorful flock of Ameraucanas white, brown many color combos and 1 gorgeous rooster.

Free in Florida, the book of forms (25 per book) is $50 though per book.


We do!!, hatched a TON of chicks last week and more this weekend. Going to offer "hatch Specials" from our weekly hatches at a flat rate to include shipping. Can do eggs also. Pictures below, only boy not pictured is the Blue roo, he is slate blue with gold hackles. Will work on a picture of him as well

OMG your chickens are gorgeous!!! so thrilled that I can claim from you!!!!!

NPIP testing is 50 cents a bird here. AI is free.

I guess they must be subsidized?

I think my husband likes my birds as much as I do (well, maybe not quite!). He saw my new roo from Cheryl the other day and said "WOW!" He loves him! Rachael got some better pictures last night, so maybe she will share them.
Also, he helped me build a coop over the last year and we keep renovating it to make it better! Right now we are in the process of dividing it into thirds and adding brooders and breeding pens to use up some of the wasted space inside. I will try to get pictures soon. We are building them about 3 feet up with two stacked on top of each other. They open out so it will be easy to clean and get to the feeder/waterer. They are two feet deep, two feet tall, and four feet wide, so they each hold a lot of chicks and should handle a trio or quad of most of my breeds. The floor pens are for the bigger breeds and larger flocks, like the Legbars. We are eventually planning on building a small barn with rooms for feed/incubator, brooder, etc., but for now this works great!
He also wants to borrow my uncle's backhoe in the spring and dig a small pond for the ducks and geese, so they are happier! We want to move in a couple years to a farm, so we look at houses and dream! Our favorite house has a huge pond and that was one of the first things he said about it-"It's perfect! It has a huge pond for the ducks and geese!"
Here it is, my dream home:

(unfortunately, we can't afford to move right now, so if someone else wants to buy it and move, go right ahead! I''ll be your neighbor!)

So I'm a little bummed. I was hoping to have Jeannie's carrier finished and sent with some eggs but am stuck at DHs office. He's the chief information officer for his company...ie the computer guy..... And something major happened yesterday and their entire network went down. So he's been working on it for the last 14 horse which meant that I have been with the babes an didn't have time to finish the burning or wrap eggs :/ sorry!!!! I was really hoping to have it sent out today!
