Jess:
I had an excess of a few Blacks, Blues and splash.
I ran an ad it the Mississippi Market Bulliten, and The first two people bought nearly all the blues. I sold a couple of blacks and splash, but I could probally have sold 50 blues. It seems that no one wants any black chickens.
I sold my last blue rooster that I had for sale yesterday, and the lady wants me to call her as soon as I hatched out some more blues.
So my first breeding pen will consist of 6 black hens and a splash rooster.
These were culls that I did not want to keep so I sold them for $15 apiece.
I was just wondering what sales good in your area?

Fantastic!

Mike Gilbert:
Apparently some of the buyers did not think they were all culls if they were willing to go $15 apiece.

Jess:
Evening,
There are not many breeders of pure Ameraucanas in this area. I am trying to humbly educate folks that all chickens that have a piece of beard or muff is not an Ameraucana.
Most folks around here think if it lays a blue, green, or any other color of egg other than brown or white it is a Ameraucana.
Most folks are really interested when I tell them that there are only 8 colors of Ameraucanas. Some people look at you like you are from another planet when you try to explain genetics, but I\'m trying.
So I guess my culls are not that bad, I,m just real picky.
I guess I should explain, I got $15 for the hens and $10 for the roosters. I did sell one of my blue wheaten roosters for $15 yesterday.I wound up with 8 Wheaten and 3 Blue Wheaten roosters out of those that I ordered from MS Barbar Campbell, so I sold a couple of them.
I have printed out copies of the genetic makeup of Black, Blues and Splash and of the Wheaten, so I can just give customers a copy, to help them understand.  
Thanks
Jess

NoseyChickens:
I\'m still working on building up my own flock. But, I have had no problem at all selling my whites when I have some available.

I have them same issue around here with people thinking EE\'s are Ameraucanas. They look at me like I\'m nuts too when I try to explain.
