Yes they ship and may already be booking orders for next year . http://ameraucanaalliance.org/DnLd/Directory.pdf
http://ameraucana.org/docs/breedersdirectory_2015.pdf Check out these breeder directories . Contact info will be in one of these .

Okay,thanks. Is this where you got your ameraucanas?

Some of them yes . Some project colors I created myself . Helped create the breed so I have been doing this a long time . Everyone adds some new blood once in awhile . So each breeder considers it their blood line as they make the breeding choices and do the blending of new blood . You will get very good stock from either of these guys .

What colors did you create? Or were they already existing colors that you color crossed to get? I also looked at the directories,and saw your name as a listed breeder...do you sell birds that you breed?

Right now I am breeding cuckoo and lavender cuckoo in standard size that I created . In the past I mostly did bantam . I have helped create white , black , blue , silver , brown red and buff in bantam size . I mostly sell eggs and sometimes chicks . Getting older and slowing down . I no longer breed some of the colors I helped with .

Do you ship out of state? I really like that the lavender cukoo.

These are a little different auto sexing EE . Rhodebar hen x Crested Cream Legbar rooster .

On the line of creme legbars,did you know that ameraucana is in their blood? They are a cross between ameraucanas, leghorns,and I can't remember off hand what the one other breed was. I found this to be interesting,except a tad obvious,because if you cross a blue egg laying breed rooster over a white egg laying breed hen,then you get blue egg laying offspring. Idk if you could continue with breeding white egg layers to that and continue to get blue egg offspring,or if genetics make them lay white eggs.

Cool. Which is why CCL is a little like the leghorn with their feed input conversion.
Not that they are as high in production but for the inputs given.

Before this gets repeated as fact let me try to give more accurate info . Legbar were created before Ameraucana . The source of the blue egg gene was stated as a Chilean hen . Light brown leghorn was one of the breeds used . I forget where the barring came from.

The only connection between Legbar and Ameraucana is the blue egg gene came from South America .

Blue egg gene is dominant . So that is easy to figure percentages in following crosses .

Does that then presume the blue egg gene came from Araucana?
