She auctions off some now and then on her Facebook page, last dozen just went for 200. I keep having to remind myself that I'm not a breeder, and since I quit my previous job I don't need to spend that kind of money on a gamble of shipped eggs.

And I thought my LO's were expensive! Sheesh!

I'm not opposed to paying for quality. I guess I just don't know enough about them to know what they are worth... yet... But I'd be so scared with hatching eggs that I paid that much for! I think I'd have to take 3 weeks off work to tend to the bator. Even a Brinsea! lol

Even in the Brinsea, that's a huge gamble. I think I would rather spend $500 on chicks than $250 on eggs. There's so many faults in the breed, and so much to learn, I'm just going to try and breed out what I have and improve. If that doesn't work, then I will drop some money next time

What did you buy? I'd love to order a dozen Little Peddler Marans but at $250.00 a dozen, I keep holding back..............

Do they lay golden eggs

You really need to put spoiler alerts on your posts. It's becoming dangerous to drink and read when you're involved.

Better. Chocolate

I would pay $150 for these if I knew I could hatch 4 pullets

I already got promised eggs... Right sugar, darling, sweetheart SC?

My last batch of shipped eggs worked out great. I just payed more for shipped eggs than I have ever spent before. They ship on the 27th. I will post pics when I set them next week. I smoked a couple roos called "dinner" over the weekend. Delicious.

You want to be #2 on the free Ameraucana egg list next year? Trade you for those BCMs if they turn out like you like

I got Bev Davis line from Brian. Not $250 a dozen, but not cheap either. I would rather work with the faults in the BD line rather than the white, etc from the LP line.

Done!

By the the time I grow out the Ameraucanas I could sell my EE flock for a profit and have REAL Ameraucanas. I like that idea.

Sounds like a sweet trade!

If either of you end up with "not SOP" eggs I'd love to put some of them in my incubator next spring.

I think there's going to be quite a few people on here with some nice eggs by next spring
