Looking for some buckeye/ Ameraucana crosses

[bearpaw]

Hi,

I would like to purchase some Buckeyes crossed with Ameraucanas. I live in Arizona.
Should be buckeye colored with Ameraucana beard ect. I'm told that one person out there has some. Does anyone know this person?

Umm, I have a few but I live in Iowa. Why do you want them?

Hi,
Wren
I am working on a few genetic experiments. The one I would like them for is a buckeye colored Ameraucana. I want to see if I can get them to breed true to color and have a beard and eventually breed a Red Ameraucana. Yours could give me a head start. I will be getting some
buckeye chicks in the spring but I wouldn't need to use them for this project. I have raised chickens of several breeds since 1978, and currently have Buff Orphington, Barred Rock, RIR, New Hamp.Reds,
Several Ameraucana varieties:Black, White, Buff, Blue, Wheaten, Silver Campines and a Barred Project Ameraucana group.

I would pay whatever for a trio por pair. If the Post Office will ship them.

Hi again,

I could settle for Rhode Island Reds if they meet the A.P.A. Standard

for the breed.

Okay...sounds good to me. I can make up a breeding pen if you want and ship you the eggs. I need to do some research on color first to see what to put on what so to speak.

Are eggs okay? If so when would you want to receive them? How many?

Hi,
Wren
If you intend on breeding Buckeye to Ameraucanas and shipping Eggs,
the best time would be in end of October - early November. I would like 24.
Here is a web site that may help www.breedbook.org/?action:geneticscalculator&tab =CHICKEN from what I can tell wheaten hens are best with buckeye roo or buckeye hens and wheaten roo.
