Does anybody have an actual photo of a spearmint egg? Sounds fun!

Last summer I got a spearmintee egg, but unfortunately whoever was laying it is not currently laying, so I don't have a picture.

I thought you were talking about birds. If you're talking F2 eggs, then I'm sorry don't know nothin' 'bout Fwhatever eggs.

I was thinking you were saying that , that would be an F2 chick.

They are actually a Ameraucana project . Frowned upon by some members . So I do not post these on the Ameraucana threads . Barring was borrowed from barred Rock x black Ameraucana several generations ago .

The really fun part is these are up to purebred now . You can use cuckoo hens with a black Ameraucana rooster and get purebred black sex linked Ameraucana pullets . Male chicks would be single barred with a small white head spot . I also have lavender cuckoo . Lavender cuckoo hens with a lavender rooster and you get lavender sex linked pullets .

I have to share what happened when I advertised my EE hatching eggs on Facebook for sale.

I just had a girl ask me about meeting her to sell her eggs to hatch. She's only in town until tomorrow. She's in hospital and gets out tomorrow. She just had a baby yesterday. Yes, that's what I'd do. Stop off and get hatching eggs before I take my new baby home.
