ok, well, while we're at it...
an update of what i've got available now...
mille fleur cochin - tho 2 went broody so far, cross fingers the other 2 don't! - i've got 3 chicks hatched so far (not for sale yet), and one pair growing out, available now. also 2 buff columbian girls split mille fleur, with a roo or 2 to match.
Silver grey dorkings - 1 adult pair available. some 2 week old chicks also available now. no eggs unless you want mixed color (red and sg together) with a possible EE in the mix now and then. (tho the dorking roos do NOT like him near their girls LOL)
EE/dorking eggs available 24x7. i get at least 2-3 a day from 4 girls. they have never gone broody on me (knock on wood) and lay quite well. chicks from this cross will be fairly fast growing and LARGE, usually with 5 toes, pea comb, and typical dorking shape and stance (long bodied for good breast and back meat). colors will vary depending on the hen/roo combo. i've got red and silver roos, each EE hen is unique. so there's no predicting what'll happen.
2 mature buff orpington girls. laying well. their sister has gone broody (and is an awesome momma), but not these 2. (yet)
then i've got 20-30 assorted chicks. possibly EE cross, some may be part wyandotte or orp, most are at least half dorking (some pure mixed in too i'm sure). one is a "pure" ee. (aka oxymoron?) and is crested like his daddy 'Weeble'. very cute.
I plan to have most, if not all of my available birds with me at the swap in Christiansburg this saturday, from 8am to noon(ish)
i may also have at least 1 silver laced cochin (rooster) with me.
my blrw have been penned for a bit over a week now, and i set 4 eggs, from yesterday and today, this afternoon. waiting to see how the roo does at his 'job'. not sure these will be pure, but i can cross fingers and see how they develop.
once the mutts are gone, i don't plan on hatching any more (except EEs) again this year. I should have my breeding pens done by the end of the month (saying prayers for good weather!) and once they're laying for a couple weeks will start alternating hatches between the pens weekly. (with distinct enough differences to know who's who at least - the dorkings, cochins and wyandottes should be easy to tell apart, it's the EE's that cause all kinds of problems, since they may be any part of anything. LOL

ISO Ameraucana Pullets or chicks preferably a couple week old. Don't really have a set color I would like so let me know if you have any. Would also like if it was close to Northern Virginia nothing further south then Fredericksburg.

Maybe prefer Silver, Wheaton, or Buff color Ameraucanas

are you looking for purebred ameraucana to show or just birds to lay blue/green eggs? most hatcheries sell ameraucanas that are really easter eggers - aka mixed breed birds that have beard/muff and lay blue/green eggs.
if you're just looking for blue/green egg layers, i just set 30+ eggs yesterday, they'll be ready in time for Gilmanor on may 4th. (in Glen Allen). my EE's are most often dorking crosses (dorking roos over EE girls) but i also have a really neat EE roo that happens to be crested too, and passes that along occasionally. his momma was a blue ameraucana (purebred) daddy was a wandering ??
my EE roo Weeble - think he's got some splash laced red in there too.
and a couple of his girls.
Bahlu (not the red girl in the foreground, she's a Dorking)
Brownie
and Kallie
edit: just saw you posted what colors you're looking for so i'm guessing SOP-bred birds, not EE's.
