    Araucana thread anyone?

    Dcba ... I have looked at his page and he really does have some fine looking birds. Post pics when you get some too. I love pics. N8ivetxn... That is a good question and I'm sure some of the more experienced breeders and those with genetic expertise can better explain it than I can. Here is my...

    Araucana thread anyone?

    With Araucana, every hatch seems like the chicken lottery to me. Even more so with the duckwings. I can't wait to see their big bird feathers.

    Araucana thread anyone?

    Thanks Ravyn. We have mostly duckwings, but we also have small groups of white, black, and blue black splash. So far this fall we did a hatch of all colors first then the last few hatches have been duckwing mainly but we did set a few black. One thing that's curious with these hatches, and...

    Araucana thread anyone?

    Thank you! We found a few new Araucana near here and despite the hesitations that come with hatching in fall... My husband urged me to hatch what we could and we went to work on brooder boxes and 2 new heated grow out pens. Lots of work but so worth it. All together we have hatched over 40...

    Araucana thread anyone?

    Hello everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful holiday. We have been hatching Araucana babies for the past few weeks. The last batch to hatch Monday. It has been fairly successful hatching. Lots of tufted and double tufted. *grins* Sorry for the poor pic quality but I have to share.

    Araucana thread anyone?

    Great! Thank you. We are not currently npip certified but looking into it for spring next year. I'm hoping to do a Lot more hatching then and may have some extra to share. In the present if we come across a nice bird or two to add some new lines to our flock would be wonderful.

    Araucana thread anyone?

    Dcba We will sure pass on any info on active breeders or activity in the Araucana world we find. Please do the same. Ive read this thread from the beginning up to 5000 something and there used to be a lot of info and exchanges of eggs or birds made here.

    Araucana thread anyone?

    All the breeders I've had experience with in the ABC of A club all care deeply for their birds... you could email them and ask if they have an accessible site with pics... get in contact, talk to them, get to know them... Getting perfect DT's is not easy, you may need to work with uneven or...

    Araucana thread anyone?

    out the tails... Have you tried the Araucana Breeders Club of America's breeder list? Which variety are you looking for? Well definitely LF. As for colors I'm greedy and love them all. But we mostly have BBS and some imperfect silver duckwings. The big issue right now is the tufts. Out of 25...

    Araucana thread anyone?

    Hello all. We first became chicken lovers in 2012 with our first chick days batch. We then began educating ourselves on various breeds when I ran across an article on the rumpless tufted Araucana. I immediately fell in love with everything about these birds and told my husband about them. We...

    AwesomeAraucana.com...anyone have any experience with it?

    Pretty birds and i'm glad it worked out for you. However, I did remind Edd and after waiting nearly 3 weeks to hear something, he simply replied "no eggs". It's always a gamble I suppose having eggs shipped. Good luck everyone

    AwesomeAraucana.com...anyone have any experience with it?

    The 3 araucana chicks from "24 araucana hatching eggs" on ebay sold by awesome araucana. When contacted about the results of the hatch Edd had offerred to send a new batch of eggs since the post mangled the 1st ones so badly. I don't know if he will or not, we haven't heard from him in almost a...

    Hatch Day Update... Our hatch day was Sunday ... On lockdown day they were taken off the turner & candled. 12 were seemingly fertile, viable or wiggling eggs. The others were about half & half, either infertile or early death. With high hopes, the rest were set for lockdown, humidity raised...
