But, if you send me those 12 week old black Ameraucanas, you WILL be participating! Come on, let's make a deal!

Look at this face, begging you for a mate ....

I can get my hands on a nice Blue roo, but that's the best I can do at the moment. Still waiting for my BBS AM chicks since she had to set a new hatch.

Ameraucana breeder [correction: Paul] Smith in Texas will have day-old Black, Blue & Splash chicks available in May. He posted a thread at http://www.ameraucana.org/abcforum/index.php?a=topic&t=1219 and you can click on his name there to contact him.

You could let him know about this special breeding project & see if he might be able to get you any earlier, or if he has any older birds for sale.

Also, there is a breeder in Salt Lake City, UT with a few adult Blacks & Blues for sale. Contact me if you'd like his info.

His name is Paul Smith. I have some black ameraucana coming from him

I got my blue/black amer. chicks from Paul Smith also. I have 13 chicks, and they are looking good. I can't tell the sex of any of them yet.

alicefelldown - I think your chicken looks like a lady. My roos definitely have the three rows visible pretty early.

kathyinmo - I agree that yours look like 2 roos, 1 pullet.

They are all so beautiful! Congrats!

Unfortunately the fluffy chickens are still not laying. It's been about three weeks now.

Darn girls .... hope they start laying real soon, Julie!

I just wish I had some Ameraucanas growing out right now!!! I think I will check out that link. Thanks SpeckledHills.

When you consider the young age and small numbers we're dealing with, I think things are going quite well and about as fast as they can.

The BBS AMs I've ordered are/were being set specifically for my order, so I'll just wait for them, though I do appreciate the link. However, I would pick up some nice BBS AM pullets should I find any at the show. You know Kathy, you're on our way home. If I find any, do you want to babysit for awhile?

Where is this show? Sedalia? Maybe I will see if I can go. I don't know my way around Missouri, but I can read a map!

 

[averytds]

It's this Sat in Sedalia at the fairgrounds. I'll see if I can find a link. Show and swap. Sanctioned, double show....starts at 9am I think. We have to leave here at about 4AM, but it's only a couple hrs for you. I'm hoping/expecting some of the ABC club members/breeders will be there. http://www.ameraucana.org/ABC Meets.html
