How exciting! I am curious to see how the birds look from that cross as well as what color eggs the offspring lay. I will have to live that through you as my Amereaucana are due to hatch tomrrow, so it will be many months before I can try that myself. What color are your Ameraucanas? God willing, I will have Blue Splash and Wheaten. I would like to cross my SFH with some blue and see what I get. Of course, that will be quite a while as I want to increase the size of my SFH flock first. Good luck with your eggs!

Tried to get some new photos today, but know one would hang around but the "twins."

Funny how this photo almost makes them look like attached!

Four of the five are laying today. Lily and Sophie are white/splash and Rosie and Daisy are dark red/black/white speckly. Daisy is crested. The other two girls with blue eggs in the bator are a blue Ameraucana and a lavender Ameraucana.

The two that are laying now are blue and lavender. There are also three wheaten/blue wheaten Ameraucanas in with one of the SFH guys but they aren't laying yet. They were hatched in June and July so it should be soon. We still have less than 11 hours of natural daylight up here so that makes a difference. I'm thinking those wheatens could make really colorful babies.
