Those aren't Ameraucanas - Gabbard Farms sells Easter Eggers.
Hey Mahonri - I've got a peachick egg pip today.

This is a common error, so don't feel bad about it. I think it has happened to every one of us before we knew what Ameraucanas were.

I always have a countdown when hatching.

I'll post more pics as soon as my battery is done recharging. . .

So far I have 3 Ameraucanas hatched out, one from a set of 3 eggs I separated, as they're the bluest.

I am just starting with this breed so forgive the question...but can these be sexed at hatch?

No, they all hatch out as an adorable blondie - But once they feather, you can sex them.

Thanks Illia!!

By week 3 I can tell the boys from the girls!

Well, I'm down to the last 100 hours for most of my eggs.

I'm cutting the cartons and shelf liner to put into the bators after we candle tomorrow afternoon. Tuesday at lunch I'll set up the brooder in the kitchen.

... on Tuesday we'll have neighbors in and out non-stop wanting to watch the chicks hatch.

good times...

I can't find any helpful info on the BWA's.... If any of you can help...I'd be very thankful!

What sort of info are you looking for?

This is for Mahonri: These were taken yesterday as right now it is a MESS and filled with a hodge-podge of chicks.
