Paul & Angela Smith are now accepting and receiving orders for their day old LF, potential show quality Ameraucana chicks. We are trying something new this year! We are hatching now, and plan hatches on Mondays when we have saved at least 12 dozen hatching eggs. Starting Feb. 1, 2016 the hatches will be on a two week schedule until our last hatch June 6, 2016. We have tried fall hatches in the past with poor hatch rates due to the prolonged heat wave, which occurs in our area. This year we had a very short version of the heat wave and I have noticed many of the breeders cocks being active, so we decided to see how many quality Ameraucana chicks we could produce in an extended hatching season. The lights are on, and egg production increases daily in most varieties.
Our first fall hatch is due to hatch Oct. 19, 2015. The lavender/self blue are heavily booked from this hatch. The wheaten, blue wheaten, splash wheaten are heavily booked for all the anticipated fall hatches and possibly into the spring hatching season. They have delayed their start to lay. Most are presently in molt. We should have plenty black and blue with a few splash (some may be recessive white) from our Oct. 19, hatch, to be able to send out several boxes of chicks, with 39 black, 46 blue and 10 splash eggs in it.
