Hello!

so I've been reading posts on this site for years now, and decided its about time I become an official member. I've kept chickens for the past four years when we moved to the country with no zoning in upstate NY! I'm a happy chicken lady now.
Ive just recently gotten into specific breeds, and am slowly learning how to breed them. last year was my first hatch, with a broody-she hatched 7 out of 8 eggs. I just got my first incubator and were only on day 2-they will be a mix of chicks, easter Eggers and olive Eggers.

I'm interested in breeding pure blue Ameraucanas and French black copper marans. I have a pure blue Ameraucana rooster, and pure black copper Maran hens. working on getting both sexes so I can have some pure chicks of both breeds.

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

Good luck with your hatch! The next 19 days or so will the be longest EVER! But well worth the wait!

Definitely stop by our General Breeds forums where there are several threads on Ameraucanas and Marans or you can start your own threads... https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/general-breed-discussions-faq.14/

Good luck in all your chicken adventures and welcome to our community!
