    Hi, just checking on an update of your Araucanas, they are females? I have 3 month olds so just comparing 🤔

    Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

    Ok thanks! I'll go with the one without spikes and hope for the best. I love the orange patridge colouring so not really concerned if it's an acceptable colour, just don't want the red comb or single combs at this point. I'm also going to breed him with Araucana hens when they grow up. Any...

    Thoughts on a new boy... Which one looks more pure? Combs?- the one in the front looks more spiky shape?

    Ok, I never had any single combs with previous rooster. So this boy must be a carrier and at least 1 hen. I won't know if a new rooster is carrying untill I breed him 😕 I don't want to get rid of my hens

    ..Single comb comes from both parents doesn't it? So it wouldn't be just my rooster? None of my Silkies have single combs but it just pops up in over half of all chicks since having this rooster

    I wish I had silkies like yours Hinotori 😍 I've got a nice rooster I've had for a while now but I keep getting mostly single comb offspring so I'm guessing it's from him! 😞 I'll have to try and find another boy to replace him. I might buy some eggs to hatch a new boy into the flock if I can...

    No change to combs as yet -Not getting red or bigger. If any is a boy then I'd guess the black one but with no further comb development must be a girl 🤞

    8 wk old Araucana gender?

    These 2 are Araucana breed. (Australia) Just over 8 weeks old now. Guesses on Boy or Girl? I've only had silkies so not sure what to look out for. They seem even more difficult then silkies! Thanks 😊

    Hi guys! My lovely Silkie girl Jaffa just hatched shipped Araucana eggs. 6 were under, 4 are out and about, 1 didn't hatch and other chick died after hatch for some reason. Hopefully will be at least 1 hen to cross with my silkie boy 😃.. looks like different coloured variety 🤔 it's cold here...

    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    Hi! I love byc and do look up handy info from time to time but I've been busy with my baby /family things so not had much of a minute to check out byc as often as I use too. I have still been loving my Silkies though! 11 currently. I've had quite a few hatches, sold lots. And now venturing into...

    Mmm not as easy as I thought 😄 I might have to settle with blue egg layer Araucanas

    Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

    Hi all! I'm looking at getting blue egg laying silkie cross Araucana eggs, hatch them, then cross back a hen to silkie rooster, would they still lay blue eggs but have more silkie fluffy feathering?
