Ameraucana Marketplace / 2024 Fall Hatches

« on: August 16, 2024, 09:32:42 PM »

  We are now accepting day old chick orders for our September 16, 2024 and October 21, 2024 hatches.  Due to several cold fronts "down to mid 80's for the high of the day"  the males became very active breeders, so we decided to have two hatches.   The pairs and trios were still set-up and laying a good supply of eggs that should be fertile.  Ten days into the hatch will tell.
  Chick prices are the same as last spring.  We are AI certified clean with NPIP which cost $700 per year.  It takes a lot of chicks just to break even.  We enjoy our birds and have sent them into all 50 states and Canada.
  Email psmith@ntin.net or call Paul at 940-768-8405 for order information.  We will have potential show quality large fowl black, blue, splash, white, self blue, and self blue splits in Ameraucanas and some of our other blue egg laying breed.

  We entered 5 head today in the ABC national and first splash large fowl qualifying meet.  We will need to sell all five while at the show as we can not bring any of them back into Texas.  The Texas Animal Health Commission has forced new regulations that are impossible to meet to bring birds back.  I called them last week to see if anything had changed.  Mattie was going through the requirements, then said this is the "tricky one", meaning impossible one.  The birds must have a negative AI test within 72 hours of reentering Texas.  I ask where am I going to find a vet on Sunday morning to test the birds?  She didn't know!  I didn't bother to mention the test results are not instant like PT.  We will be selling a blue, self blue and splash young hens
(14 months old), a splash and black pullet.

  I recommend not changing the GQF wafer thermostat.  We changed ours to electronic thermostats when they first came out.  They worked great for several years then started failing.  Changed out the bad ones several times.  The last new ones were junk from day one!  Long story short, we borrowed one that had not been altered so we could change ours back to the old time wafers.  The wafer thermostats have done a great job the past two hatching seasons.

  You may have the vents at the bottom not opened enough to allow the warm air to circulate enough.

  We are cutting our hatching season short by two hatches due to AI shipping issues.  Our last two hatches are set for May 2nd and 16th.  We have hatched since September 15, 2020 with only a short break in the past two Novembers and Decembers.  We plan to start hatching in March 2023.  We should be able to supply black, blue, self blue and self blue splits from our last 2 hatches.  Email Paul Smith psmith@ntin.net for chick order information.

Great job Kris!
It's very apparent that I chose the right person to take my place!  This being your first district meet you did more than excellent, taking photos, chasing down the judges for champion selection between bantams and large fowl.  It was great to pass these task to you!
