Not even close!!

Saw him 'try' to mate yesterday, if one could call it that. He jumped on a females back (more of a dainty side-saddle than a proper mount), but then realized females have cooties or something and ran away in shame.

I have a dozen eggs (of the next generation) in lockdown, due on Saturday (Aug 7).

Another dozen due Aug 12.

Currently, only Jubaby has these that are of laying age. There's been a lot of issues with fertility so I'm not sure she has an open list at this point. (She's mentioned this several times in the past scores of posts/pages.)

Those of us that do have these birds, are not currently selling as they are not laying/mating yet. Not to mention, the obvious need for those breeding these to test their own eggs before selling any and build up their flocks first. For most people who tried, the hatch rates were extremely low, if any were able to hatch at all. There should hopefully be increased vigor with the outcrossings to other pure Ameraucanas, but it's a slow uphill battle.

While we are not looking necessarily at 'years' anymore, we are still looking at 'months' before you can expect to see these listed for sale.

Since the thread started in2008, I thought there'd be 2nd gens being produced by now.
