“Chicks arrived happy and healthy on Tuesday morning after shipping Monday Afternoon. Box was safely packed with extra padding up the sides to keep such a small order safe from bumps (only 5 chicks) and everyone did great after arrival. They're almost two weeks old and still doing amazing, everyone is correctly colored with nice puffy baby cheeks/beards and I'm excited to see them get bigger!”
“We have a beautiful lavender Ameracauna from MPC last year and she lays a sage green egg. I thought for sure it would be blue with this breed. She is lovely though.
Trying a cream legbar this year she hasn’t begun to lay yet.”
Thank you for reaching out! We do disclose that Lavender Ameraucanas will lay pretty, light blue to greenish blue eggs in the breed description on their page, so it is possible to get green eggs with a true Lavender Ameraucana. Cream Legbars do lay a light blue egg, so I think you'll really enjoy having both these beautiful breeds!
“Alala, our Lavender Ameraucana chick, is a lady. She seems solidly middle of the flock--gentle and kind to all, but not a pushover. She's very similar in temperament to our Wheaten Marans chick, Shelly. Alala is a wonderful snuggler and very friendly. I think she's a good candidate for a lap chicken. We are thrilled with all our baby chicks (seven, all different breeds) from MPC. I can't say I have a favorite, though I have a tender spot for Alala. I highly recommend MPC. All chicks arrived happy and healthy within 24 hours. They are friendly and sweet and have nearly doubled in size in their first week.”
We're so glad to hear you're enjoying your chicks! Lavender Ameraucanas are a wonderful breed and Alala sounds like a sweet little bird. We hope your new flock brings you many years of joy!
“was ok with the switch but the lavender has passed already. Her and the silkie never grew like the other. They both eat and drink and play. No pasty butt, I just woke up and the lavender was gone. Hopefully, the silkie does ok.”
“I love my Lavender Ameraucana! She lays such pretty blue eggs about 3-4 times a week. She is so cute with her fluffy feathered cheeks! She also gets along well with the other birds in my flock.”
