I have 3 pullets that will be 26 weeks old on Friday. They are 1/4 silkie and the rest is ameraucana and/or easter egger. 3 to 4.5 pound birds but should get a little bigger. Probably will go broody at least once a year with the silkie background and the ameraucana grandmother's habit.

They started laying a couple weeks back. Unfortunately they lay small eggs that haven't gotten bigger.

I'll be putting them up for sale as soon as the stay at home is lifted. Im vulnerable with my lung issues so try to stay away from people.

I will be looking for a real ameraucana cockerel to replace my halfbreed rooster. I like the larger eggs.

I have real ameraucana 5 pullets but my EE Red is EE

 

[Hinotori]

I only have the 2 wheaten hens left, but one or two of the EEs are ameraucana/EE. I'd really like to get a few more ameraucana pullets but I like my EEs too.

 

[pennyJo1960]

How about we meet I give you blue eggs then they are Gina's EE to Red my EE
rooster

 

[Hinotori]

We'll have to wait. The incubator has eggs in it right now. That would be good for a rooster

 

[pennyJo1960]

Not a problem

I just hatched 2 columbian quail orpington chicks. That's what the breeder called them and he wants to buy them back. I like unusual chickens though, and I've never shipped chicks. They a day old. Thoughts?

 

[pennyJo1960]

I would question are they quail or orpington I did not
believe you could cross breed quail to chickens
