I placed an order from IDEAL POUTLRY to come in late march. You are welcome to add to the order if youd like.......

BTW, I am in Durham also.

Tiffany- that is a very generous offer, but dddCT is looking for true ameraucana. The hatcheries don't sell them. They sell easter eggers that they mislabel as ameraucana, araucana, americana, etc...

good luck with your chicks

I have some 6 week old Ameraucana and Welsummer chicks I bought
off an Ebay auction. I'm not sure of the pedigree.

Here is the auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230309595959

Yeah, I sorta thought so. Oh well. Many are roos. I'll add a hen or two
to my layers. We had a great hatch with them and they are healthy too.

Now the Welsummers are true but most are roos too.

Oh no! I sure hope we don't get started on "what's the difference?" again!!

KLF73 is correct, hatcheries don't sell Ameraucanas but rather Easter Eggers, and PurpleChicken, those are EE's too.

Nothing wrong with EE's. They just ain't Ameraucanas.

God Bless,

hey tailfeathers,
any chance you can send me a pic of those splash wheatens? I had someone ask me about them, but since mine aren't laying yet I haven't had a chance to see myself....

And what Splash Wheatens would you be referring to? I'm not sure what you mean.
