Hi all
A few days ago I got some new lavander araucana hens (well I was told they were, but I think they could have something else as well?).
Anyway, I have set up a little quarantine station for them under the kids trampoline, and the next morning there was a lot of pacing and squawking by...
Add me to the list too, when I was a kid I wouldn't let my mum buy them from the shop either (that was approx 15 years ago??).
Anyway, recently my sister lectured me on how they're just overpriced and you can't even taste the difference. My jaw hit the floor,
I responded with the "It's not...

Ooooooooh, thanks! I sure hope so!!!
And flowergirl, they sure do grow fast.... I'm already thinking about what breed to get next
I think so too!! At 16 weeks if she was a he it would be really noticeable!! And she'd probably be crowing her head off!!
PHHHHHEEEEW!!!!! Thanks so...

Posted a question as to whether my Fergie is a Fergus... and now the 'girls' (fingers crossed they both are) can have an official introduction
We got them as day olds (Australorp x New Hampshire), and they have...
Thanks for your response
Sometimes I think she's def a roo, but then I change my mind But then, these are my first so I really have no clue!
So maybe she's going to be one of these ones I have to wait and see. In the meantime I might look to buy another, so that if I do have to
'send her...
Thanks for reading..
I was wondering if anyone had an opinion as to what my 8 week old supposed pullet might be.. I bought 2 day old sexed pullets, and now I'm worrying that our
Fergie might be a Fergus
I will be devastated if she's a he, as I'm quite attached to her perky little...
