    Araucana thread anyone?

    I would recommend figuring out which color of araucana you like best and then getting birds in that color. Try not to get a mix of various colors. If you get them all in the same color family ( Golden Duckwing, Silver Duckwing, black, white, blue, splash etc) you will have an easier time...

    Araucana thread anyone?

    Where to get araucana depends on where you live and if there are breeders locally. I recommend joining the Araucana Club of America and start connecting with people that live somewhat close to you. You can only get Araucana from breeders. Some breeders do ship birds. Lanae Cash ACA President

    I like the younger rooster better. His skin color is better. The older rooster has white skin which is not an araucana trait. I would use the younger rooster and remember that the hens will be black or blue most likely. Its the cockerels you need to keep a close eye on. Look for the...

    Araucana laying brown eggs???

    That is not a true Araucana here in the US. That would be allowable in Europe such as Germany but not here. This is a photo of a True Araucana per the Standard of Perfection here in the US. They do not have beards or muffs ( fluffy faces) Lanae

    Araucana thread anyone?

    He is what is called a crow wing bird. Note the lack of color at the bottom of his wings. Some would call that birchen, but birchen is actually the silver color of this allele. Brown Red is the red color of this allele. I don't think there is a name for the gold color which he is. I would...
