One of my tailed Araucana hen Tilda has been broody for 15weeks!
She hatched 3 silkies by her self.
Then when chicks were 4week old, she decided to join her broody sister to hatch another 7eggs.
Now second chicks are 5weeks old. Finally she lay her egg today. First one in 15 weeks!!

Hi I'm in NZ.
I bought duck wing tailed Araucana eggs x4 last mounts now they all hatched.
But I had no idea what duck wing was... Just they looked pretty.
Now i know!
Thank you for this.
These are breeders photos.
This is one of my chick.
They are all very cute!
beautifull bird. funny caracter! big nice eggs too. BUT
Just too greedy. need big space for exercise. eazy to get too fat.
bossy and noizy too.
may be good country but not urban area.
I never get them again.
So hen does know how many eggs she can hatch? interesting!
I only have hens so I have to buy eggs for her, so I just want put under her all eggs I bought...
I think she is doing good job cover all 10 eggs at the moment.
wish me luck!
Hi i tryed to put under her 12 eggs first.
I check her later one egg was cold she must couldnt cover it.
And one had little clack so i take that one out.
I think she is small bird for Araucana. smallest of all my hens.
Now she is sitting on 10 eggs. She fluff up as much as she can and cover...
Wow 18 eggs!? it must be all silkie eggs then. ok may be 10 isnt too bad :-)
