    Lavender Araucana

    I don't think I'll believe it if I get that lucky. At what age do pullets' combs usually start to turn red? I just don't want to panic if it starts happening! Although knowing my luck they'll both crow tomorrow 😂

    Lavender Araucana

    I'm back again, bird 1 is now 15 weeks, bird 2 is now 13 weeks. I've been awake for a week and bird 1 has developed some saddle feathers over the past week, so maybe they will help. Still no crowing, but some updated photos - not ideal as they'd just been drenched! 😂 Any improved guesses?!

    Lavender Araucana

    I took them both.The breeder doesn't normally let them go until she is 100% sure but she let me take them as I was taking four others (a Silver Dorking, a Salmon Faverolle, a Black Copper Marans and an Olive Egger) of the same age, so would be easier to not have to integrate an Araucana at later...

    Lavender Araucana

    Good point - I'm in the UK. I think maybe NZ and Australia have the same type of Araucanas as we do here.

    Lavender Araucana

    These are the only ones the breeder has now until Spring. She usually doesn't let them go until they are old enough to be sure, but she is allowing me to take them earlier so they don't have to be integrated separately from the other new young hens I am buying from her. The oldest one she has...

    Lavender Araucana

    Hi! I am about to add a few new growers to our flock, including a Lavender Araucana. I know these are notoriously difficult to sex at a young age, but any tips would be most welcome! The breeder is going to let me take two and pay for one, in the hope that at least one will be a pullet, and she...
