I CAN'T FIND ANYWHERE TO GET AMERAUCANAS????

[NatJ]

Well the second one but not easter egger because they could sometimes lay green eggs, right?

Easter Eggers lay mostly blue or green eggs (the difference is whether they have a layer of brown over the blue, and how dark that layer of brown is.) And occasionally there's an Easter Egger that lays brown eggs.

But if you just want pretty colored eggs, Easter Eggers are usually a very good choice.

If you wanted Easter Eggers, here are several sources I find that have them available in the next few weeks:

Thank you! I'll look in to them!

I agree about going to the Ameraucana Club page:

I know you said you don't want hatchery chicks but, from what I understand, Deer Run has quite high standards.

Good Luck

.......if all else fails.....perhaps hatching out a batch might be a good way to go?

Good find. Thanks.

I recommend Dunlap hatchery, and I have heard that Privett has good quality standards for a hatchery.

I have searched the internet high and low and have no hope on finding 1 day old ameraucana chicks (for a reasonable price?)

Me on the outside = Me on the inside =

All I want is a baby ameraucana chicks; and a black copper maran and a lavender orpington and a few silkies and a cochin and a gold wyandotte and a silver laved polish; but I could find those.

Please?!

I'm in Delaware, and raised some of my own, hatch date April 25th hen, May 23rd Rooster, both pure Ameraucana. I know it's a bit of a drive but let me know if you're interested.

Where are you located? I found a great breeder in Washington with Lavender Ameraucanas. Also, be wary, those commercial hatcheries are often selling Easter Eggers labeled as Ameraucanas....

Cackle has some of the nicest hatchery birds around.

That's true. I'm extremely impressed with the three naked neck pullets I got from them. Even better was those three were all straight ru. Little smaller than I hoped, but friendly and 2 out of the 3 actually have gorgeous boeties

A farm store here carries the "ameracauna" chicks from Meyer. I bought some years ago. Chicks were all nothing but easter eggers as there were some that laid green eggs and they all had greenish legs when adult. I would be wary of any hatchery selling what they claim to be as them. The birds I have now I hatched from eggs that I had shipped in from a show breeder. All the eggs are a beautiful sky blue and very consistent in color. Birds all have dark/black leg color.

As far as I can tell, Cackle's birds seem to be actual ameraucanas. They come in actual colors rather than "appearance may vary," they don't have green legs, and the eggs are blue, not green.

Of course, female chicks (80% accurate) are $18.95-19.95.

And that is a fair price for them as well.
