Thanks All for advice and personal experience.

I have 1 bantam Araucana hen and I love her! Watching her run across my yard is so comical! Her eggs are more of a green in my eyes but they are fun for the kids and people we give eggs to. Everyone loves blue eggs! I have the number of a lady in Grand Ronde that has a flock of true araucanas though they are all tuftless (no lethal hatch) and AOV colors because she lets them all run together. She has had araucana chickens for like 20+ years if I remember right.... She sells hatching eggs for a pretty good price. If you decide you want to hatch some I can give you her email.

Does anyone have cochins for sale, Giant or Bantam??? Oh and broody hens???

I have a white cochin I would be willing to part with. Daphne is 14 to 18 months old and has spent more time broody than not. She has never hatched eggs. I bought some hatching eggs one time from Coverleaf Farms but do to nest box squables and my own inexperience none hatched. I don't believe that was her fault at all. She is laying right now, but the last time she was laying it lasted about 2 1/2 weeks and she was broody again. I bought her from some friends in Battleground WA as a pullet and believe she is feed store hatchery stock. she has a toe that is turned in. She got it broke before I ever got her but it doesn't hurt her she just looks a little piegon toed. I am in PDX, so if interested let me know. I'd like to get $10.00 for her.

Thanks,

Marty

True Aruacanas have ear tufts - lack of them is a DQ in the show ring. However, since they are a lethal gene, breeding can be problematic. I'm sticking to Ameraucanas, for my blue eggs!

Does anyone have a broody hen, I got some silkie eggs and I would like to hatch them so if anyone is selling a broody hen I would love to buy them???!!!

  I love it!  It's on my bed right now! LOL

Yeah, there's a swap down in Brownsville the first Saturday in August, the one in Corvallis the 3rd weekend in October, and we'll have one up here in Canby next Spring.
