No luck in Alberta. There is a small breeder 13 hours away in manitoba, but he would need to collect for a week to get maybe a dozen, then shipping puts them at risk for poor hatch... Are you looking for them or offering them by chance?

Thanks for the help :)

Alberta, Canada

Hi, I am wondering if there are any Araucana breeders with hatching eggs? Preferably in the West for shipping. Thanks so much! Diana

Oh my gosh, you are a brave and talented soul...I would never dream of doing an incubator reno of this caliber....bravo...I have a Brinsea on my christmas list...I am hoping Santa takes the bait.

I purchased it at "Uncle Weiner's Wholesale" in Edmonton, AB...As I type this name out, I am painfully aware of the reason I should have spent more and bought a reputable one...

Both chick survived, but have damaged beaks. It was alarming to have an item meant for baby chicks allow this type of risk to occur...

Thank you for your kind condolences, I hope with this information, others won't have to have this same horrifying experience .

I wouldn't have risked it either if I had known it was a possibility...it was a horrifying experience...one I would not like anyone to have to go through.

Poor hatches can be due to problems with bacteria...many swear by pre-dipping in a bleach solution and then air-drying eggs. I know, most don't wash or dip hatching eggs to keep bloom intact, however, if trouble arises, this may be the answer... 2 teaspoons of bleach in 1 quart of water...
