Lavender LF day old chicks for sale
crystalcreek:
Crystal Creek will be offering a few hatches from our purebred Lavender Ameraucana pens for the Spring 2012 breeding season. A lot of hard work, meticulous record keeping, and intense selection has gone into the flock I currently have, and I feel the birds I am producing at this point are beautiful, productive, and capable of being competitive for you at shows. I am not yet where I want to be in the area of egg color, and this crop will still have some slow feathered birds even though I am diligently working to eliminate that trait. I am interested in placing my birds in the hands of ABC members who will exhibit and move toward the goal of having this variety fully recognized.
I am still using blacks to improve my lavenders, and two of three pens are comprised of split females exclusively, so buyers should be prepared to order at least some splits, especially when ordering a full box (25).
Interested parties please contact via email crystalcreekqh@sbcglobal.net

These are some of the chicks I hatched at Christmas. They were pretty consistent across the board. No feathered shanks and no clean faces, which is an improvement from last season.

This is my pen B lavender cockerel for this season. He is a son of a nice split hen from Ribbeck\'s 2010 split x split pen. She laid the most blue egg of any Ameraucana I have owned so far. Fretting is minimal and there is no gold leakage and no brassiness anywhere on this bird. I would prefer to see a tighter comb and darker eye, and I wish he were slightly larger, but overall, I like him pretty well. He is extremely valuable to my program this year because he is producing fast feather offspring for me.
The females in this pen are all Smith splits with nice size, excellent feather quality, and from a female line that lays really big eggs. One was shown by Cloverleaf Farm, with a nice Champion AOSB win in Oregon. Eye color and wingset is also superior in these birds. Most of my keepers this year will be from this pen.
