8 weeks now, the lighter chicks show some red now! :hmm 1, darker with tufts 2, lighter with tufts 3, lighter without tufts group picture (from the past week)

First of all, @abpatchy congratulations for your prize and for your beautiful birds! @fluffycrow so far I didn't get any shipped eggs either. One of my hens is sitting on a bunch of eggs since sunday but I didn't have the time to search for the eggs I wanted... I just gave her some of her...

Thank you, the third one has the redder comb, but it doesn't show up in pictures!

Upadte, one week later: 1 (darker with tufts) 2 (lighter with tufts) 3 (lighter without tufts) And this is my dog, she's very curious about the chicks taste, oops I meant gender!

My Araucana is the sweetest hen I have, I'm not sure if this has something to do with the breed or if that's just her character. I don't have other blue egg layers, so I can't compare... but I have 3 Araucana chicks now and I hope they will be nice as my adult one!

@dominiquePL Oh, these unpredictable Australorps! I won't make the same mistake again, no one can force me to guess: I just know that I don't know 😆😆😆 BUT if I had to guess, I would say female, male in the first group... and the second group I can't reall tell, because I don't understand wich...

a lone wolf!

@fluffycrow Oh, I'm happy for you! I couldn't hatch any eggs so far, the broody hen I had in April changed her mind when temperatures dropped, we had a very cold spring this year and no other hens went broody since then. I really hope your hen will try again soon! Anyway, due to my severe chicks...

Mine slept on the floor for a while too... but it's just a matter of time, he's going to grow up and he will find his place on the roost! Let us know! ;)

I know, it's nerve-wracking!:barnie

WOW! Mine is almost 5 months old and his comb and wattles are still so little! But he has gorgeous colors too!

Wow your rooster is stunning. How old is he?

I started with 5 pullets who were almost 11 months old when I added a 4 months old cockerel. He was super intimidated at first, he didn't crow until he was 7 months old and some hens did not allow him to mount them for almost a year and a half... but now they all love him. He's very sweet, he...

Ha ha, no I've been disconnected for a while, still didn't update that thread! I already had an Araucana, I just wanted more so I jumped at the first opportunity! ;)

Hi you all, let's play my favourite game! I know it's too soon to tell for a pea comb breed, but I'm going to update this thread until we solve the mistery. 1 (darker with tufts) 2 (lighter with tufts) 3 (lighter without tufts)

@havingagreatflockingtime I'm starting to see some pointed hackle feathers :( What do you think?

Oh that's disappointing! Where I live winter seems to be back, so I guess hens won't go broody for a while :hmm

Hi, sorry I just read this message. Sadly she abandoned her eggs on the fifteenth day when temperatures dropped and I don't have any incubator, so I couldn't save the eggs :( How did it go with your broody?

She only layed that egg and then stopped (no one could visit that nest, so I'm sure it was hers).

@dominiquePL I can't believe it! 😲 Australorp is the trickier breed I have ever had! The couple I kept is 4 months old now. The pullet is super femenine and the cockerel starts to show some red... but I saw a lot of younger pullets with redder combs here in the forum!He often keeps his tail...
