@Myrshine - do you mind sharing your FB group? I'd like to check it out. I have a laying pullet that recently began having rales, or congested breathing. No other symptoms. For 3 weeks now. I tried getting her in to my vet (he treats birds) but he's booked out forever. Thank you
Explain? If roosters have ZZ and hens have ZW, I guess I don't understand your objection.
It's the same with humans, but the other way around, men having the xy and not being able to produce a son etc ....
I've never interacted with this person - I was just looking at our club breeders directory, gonna start cold calling and see if I can locate any... Thanks for the lead, I'll reach out and see if ColtHandorf has any! Fingers crossed lol!
If I could find just a "decent" cockbird, maybe I could put...
"Mishmash" is a really good way to put it...the confusion in the Araucana breed has been going on for so long, I feel like we have 2 balls of string that got tangled up and now a handful of us are working to reverse it all. - I can't even get my hands on e+ birds, the only breeder I know that...
Exactly! - I have some silver wheaten hens and a cinnamon (not sure the correct name, dark wheaten?) wheaten pullet - and they don't resemble this girl at all. My wheaten cockbird has bright crisp color compared to the more subdued color of e+ BBR cock.... For comparison, the trio that was...
Ok, well thank you! Maybe somebody knows something... My first thought was the same as yours, red columbian, but I'm certain the person I bought her from is too well organized for that to happen. I'm surprised he sold her as e+ BBR, he should know better.
I only have a Wheaten BBR cockbird, so...
Thank you, that's what I suspected when I got her... I sold her to a girl working on Araucana duckwings... I'm new to this breed really, and it seems like people have confused e+ and wheaten for so long, they've almost lost the e+ birds. Recently there are a few of us working to bring them...
Hello Genetics Gurus! I'm working on a line e+ wild type Araucana. I recently bought this pullet and had her shipped across country, but I can't tell if she's silver duckwing or golden duckwing. What do you see? Thank you for the help, I'm losing my mind trying to dissect the e+ from the eWh :barnie
Thank you in advance, for any pointers! I also have chick pics for down comparisons, if needed... Some of them were what I call a broken chipmunk pattern, some were yellow, if that helps. I also have pics of the hens that laid these eggs, if that would help.
These are the chicks I have, hatched from solid Wheaten hens. I believe one hen was wildtype (I lost her), the other two are not.
Pic 1 and 2: A tufted roo, and I think a wildtype pullet
Pic 3: The tufted roo is at the top, the nicer wildtype pullet and a darker wildtype with a tail :(, and at...
Hello 👋, I need help with my Crele project - no mongrels or mixed lines here. Last year I got a quad of Araucanas from Ann Charles....The rooster was the apple of my eye, and I lost him in July. I have just a few chicks from him and I'm trying to breed a replacement. Can you tell me if that's...
Yesterday the chick took a turn and I knew the end was near....this morning when I checked, it was dead. I think it had mushy chick disease, from the incubator turner not being on and the yolk not being absorbed at hatch. It fought the good fight for a full week, tough little thing...
