Silver Ameraucanas 8+ Extras I get until end of Auction

[BuffyGRL]

I will begin collecting for this Auction on Monday

The weather is turning warm and into the 70's plus next week.

The hens are older and their eggs have gotten lighter to almost a Gray/light Blue this year.

There will be at least 8 eggs and any extras I will include.

My incubator is full so here they are. I have had great fertility with this Trio last fall I had a 90% hatch rate

These Silvers are from John Blehm

The hens are very inquisitive and wouldn't stand still

I have a small flock of their offspring that hatched in the fall. I will be adding pictures of them as soon as it dries up around here a bit

Here are their offspring as babies, 6 hens 3 Roosters and 1 Bantam Silver on the far top right

Shipped eggs are a risk, due to shipping and incubation methods I cannot guarantee these.

I package my eggs wraped in bubble wrap, placed inside a egg carton, wrap the carton in bubble wrap, line the box in bubble wrap and stuff the box with newspaper to avoid the box moving around.

Oops - double post! Love them, but lets not get carried away...

Just curious... can these be sexed at hach by their markings?

 

[BuffyGRL]

I have not been successful in doing so. I will be marking the ones currently in my incubator to see if anything proves true as an indicator. That was my first hatch from my Trio and I didn't mark any unfortunately. After a few weeks usually they are easy to sex when the males start to get their white feathers in.

Sorry i wasn't much help

Thanks also for the comments. I love my silvers. My favorites are Lavenders and Silvers. I could never pick between the two

When do you plan to send the eggs?

I will be shipping on Monday, unless the girls (only 2 hens) cooperate in time for me to make the PO on saturday before closing

I will also include 2 eggs collected on the 4-4, a little older but will still only be around 10 days old when received.

I wish I had more hens

I will also continue collecting in case the 2nd place bidder would like the same thing offered!

I do have a grow out pen of this Trio's offspring that are almost 5 months old..6 pullets, 3 cockerals. I hope they start laying early so that I can offer some of their eggs for the weather gets too cold this fall

These birds are very friendly and the Trio isn't real mouthy like some Ameraucanas are. All the young offspring look great as far as coloring. It has been raining every weekend here so I hope to get some pictures of them soon. The chicks pictured are them
