When we first got chickens in 2017, I fell for the "Americana" confusion and ended up with beautiful easter eggers that laid blue, green, and pink. After learning more about the Standard Ameraucana breed, I decided to go all in and join the breed clubs, find breeding stock, and start working to improve them for exhibition. I started with Self-Blue, which was still a project variety at the time, and "BBS" or Blue, Black, and Splash. I also worked on a Silkied Ameraucana project and ended up with a recessive white gene that popped up from birds that were unknown carriers of the gene. I've bred and shown Self-Blue, White, Blue, Black, and Splash. My daughter had bantam Wheaten and Blue Wheaten for a short time as her 4-H project.

In 2020, I decided to start over with a new Blue pair that had the genetics for lacing- a cockerel from one breeder and a pullet from another. I have been working on my line of Blues that I've developed from that pair ever since. It's been a bit of a battle making sure the unwanted traits from a distant outcross to Andalusians are completely gone, while keeping the color genetics I need for better laced Blues. They have do extremely well in exhibition and I believe my hard work is paying off.

In 2024, I decided to get out of Self-Blue and Whites and add a new project. I acquired a Chocolate Ameraucana hen to breed to one of my own Blacks. For the 2025 season, I'll be working on increasing my flock of Chocolate and also creating Mauve from a few of my Blue hens, as well as continuing to perfect my Blues.

Availability-
I do not sell hatching eggs or chicks from my exhibition Blue Ameraucana line at this time. I hatch and grow out every chick here on the farm to evaluate them for future breeding and show potential. Occasionally, I'll offer started pullets (my culls) in the Fall to layer homes. On more rare occasion, I may have extra breeding quality birds to pass on. My preference is for them to go to youth who are interested in exhibition or to other dedicated and knowledgeable breeders. 

For 2025, I will be offering limited Black and Blue chicks from my Chocolate/Mauve Project pens. Males will potentially be carrying the sexlinked (recessive) chocolate gene. You will not know this without test-breeding.

Chicks are sold STRAIGHT RUN (unsexed) and will be available for local pick-up only. They will be added to shop as soon as they are available. Hatching eggs will NOT be available. I do not take pre-orders or keep a wait list. Thank you for understanding.
