Does he have any extras?What's he charge? I like the Ameraucans,but I'm one of those very picky people who love certain colors.I would like some Blues/Blacks/Lavenders. I had a couple of girls I really liked ,but a now extinct neighbor dog got them.One was a very light chocolate/fawn coloring and one was a very orangey/peachy girl...Very beautiful.
First, I am very sorry to hear about your girls being served at the doggy diner...glad that dog is no longer in the equation. The breeder told me had has a little over 2 dozen eggs saved for me...all under 10 days old: He probably has more and I can only use 24 or less. He is selling them to me $2 an egg (6 egg minimum plus cost of shipping if applicable), which sounded fair to me; to my knowledge only raises the blues and blacks. I think they are all so beautiful that I don't care what color they are, but I will continue to look for the other colors as well. He does ship...if you PM me, I'll give you his email address. He is located in Saucier, MS, which is pretty close to the middle of the state, so may not be too far from you. The original plan was to have him ship the eggs to me, but he and his wife are in their 70's and got SO excited about us being so close that they up and invited us to come over and pick them up instead. How can you say no to little old people and the chance to see the parent stock for the eggs?
I have been trying to get any shipped eggs from the closest source possible...to minimize postal service damage. The black copper marans in my bator (started pipping this morning) came from Houma Louisiana and got here overnight via postal service. I am dealing with a couple folks within 300 miles on some Buckeyes and Barnevelders too. I think my incubator is going to be running non-stop for a while....hatch, clean, repeat.
