Ill  buy straight run, I don't mind...how much a piece?  I guess I'll take 3 to hopefully get at least one pullet.

My BCM hen is laying, two pullets should be laying in 2 months or less, and then a batch of babies from jenny's eggs....BUT...my chicks from jenny's stock have WHITE FEET. I'm not happy about it, I'm throwing the hens in with the Roo I bought from you to make Olive eggers, and will be setting my own genetic stock from now on...the ones from my roo and hen hatched out GORGEOUSLY and I'm really excited about how the turn out, so far they are colored wonderfully and really look like nice birds.

I hate to hear that about Jenny's birds. I was hoping she got lucky. I'm on Julie Akers waiting list, so I will be starting a better flock sometime this summer.
My AM chicks are $8 each, and the next hatch is close to sold out. I'll let you know after the hatch

THe bottoms of their feet should be GREY or BLACK, not white OR yellow.

ugghhh mybe you should check that with the Ameraucana club.
Quote
Ameraucanas have a pea-combs, a lack of prominent wattles, \"bay\" colored eyes (reddish brown), red ear lobes and \"slate\" (blue colored) shanks (blacks can have black colored shanks and feet) and feet and the bottoms of their feet are white. They have \"horn\" (neutral and not yellow) colored beaks.

Ray/Debi, we are not talking about AMs...we are talking about Black Copper Marans...

 

[Bejammie]

you are giving us information on a totally different breed than we are actually discussing...

 

[Ray_n_Debi]

So sorry

 

[Bejammie]

lol it happens, don't worry about it trust me, I'm not one to argue that I know ANYTHING unless I really think I know it, lol...im very aware that I'm less than knowledgeable on most breeds hehehe

 

[Bejammie]

Ray/Debi....how do you tell if muffs are single gene just from looking at them? I have EEs and a AM roo and AM hen, would love to be able to look at my EE's and know what genes are in there...lol

also do two muff genes correspond with two blue laying genes then?? or not necessarily?

 

[Ray_n_Debi]

Ok, Marans should have dark shanks but if the bottoms of their feet were black as chicks wouldn't that denote that they have black skin? I am not an expert!
