I'm sorry if I didn't post this in the right area but this looked like a good area to try. I am getting ready to set some eggs in my incubator and I am having trouble locating some araucana hatching eggs. Does anyone have any for sale or know someone that does? Thank you

Quote: I had the same problem and wanted to pull them out but the group talked me into keeping it closed and waiting. It was very good advice. They all hatched just fine despite be tossed around by the others. I ended up with 9 out of 10. Hang in there. How many more are you waiting to hatch?

It looks great. What color do you plan to paint the exterior?

I can't wait see everyone's pictures! Good luck and happy hatching.

Thought I would share some photos of my hatchlings. These are mostly silkies, couple of orpingtons and orpington/phoenix/americauna crosses. This is my favorite out of the batch. It is a silkie but he has light colored feet and a light colored raccoon mask. Happy Hatching!

Quote: Thanks Elite Silkies. I just hate to have to throw them away for a month. But I appreciate the advice. It really helps.

Thanks WallTenters. Anyone have an opinion about the warning label?

Thanks for the advice. I think I may want to weed out my buffs then. Or I might build a separate pen for them.

Anyone else with some advice? Please help. Thank you

Should I also not breed this combo for the same reason? 1. Blue Roo x Buff Hen

Okay. That makes sense. Would the other colors be desired? I understand if they are not recognized but I know there are splash, lavendars, chocolates, dun and even some laced are highly desired. Would any of the leakages or mottled colors you describe be desired by enthusiasts?

Thanks Binders. I am going to mix it up and place it in their water before I leave. It is only for a few days. She may have to feed and water them once while I am gone. Just worried about the warning and what to do with all the eggs for a month if I have treat them for 10 days plus wait 21 days...

I have a couple of chickens sneezing (one has a gargling noise). We recently had a ton of rain and their runs stayed wet as well the weather cooling down quickly. I have been told by many to use duramycin 10 (or terra-vet 10). I know you cannot eat the eggs for 21 days after the last dose but I...

What about the leakage and dun you mentioned with the blue roo.....is that showable? I want to breed what is desired. That is what I happen to have in my orp flock.

Thanks Illia. So, would you not recommend breeding a buff roo with anything other than a buff hen? When you say mutt colors you don't mean some black, splash, etc. You mean like a mottled or distorted color pattern?

Sorry guys if this has been posted before. I did search the threads and couldn't quite find what I was looking for. I have tried the genetic charts and sites and maybe its just me but I am struggling with this. I have the following orpingtons and I am wondering if someone can tell me what...

Thank you all for the advice.

Quote: I refer to all of them as he. Not sure why. I hope he is a she. Its alright,I have caught myself doing the same. These guys are just to add to my barnyard laying flock so I really dont want any roos from these guys. I already have the Blue orpington - my fav little man of all time...

Quote: It will be interesting to see how he feathers out. Good looking chick! HE?????!!!!!! uh-oh I hope its a Pullet I refer to all of them as he. Not sure why. I hope he is a she.

Quote: Well this was the only one that servived after a nest fell with 6 other eggs under my broody hen, so I put it in the bator. But I have 6 more under my broody hen that are due 23rd - 25th. And I just recieved my first mail order eggs from Bargin that I am setting tonight. But for now...
