pips&peeps :
I'm glad you like them. I am very happy with the size the f1 males are coming up with. I hope it will only be another cross or two on this project until I have the size I want. I have one huge male in my grow out pen and another that is pretty close to his size.
If you work...

Hi Billy, just wanted to let you know that there is no such thing as an Americauna. I know some hatcheries list them as such but there is no "i" in AMERAUCANA, the correct spelling. It is confusing, it certainly was to me at first (I spelled it the same way). Go to the Ameraucana...

Just got back from the show in Monroe last night. My birds didn't do as well as they have over in Montana.
My black cock bird got beaten by my white cock bird. I haven't shown him before since he has been in the breeding pen. The black generally gets Best AOSB and sometimes...

In the MMH catalog, it shows birds with rumps labeled as Aruacanas. What is the def. of a true aruacana??
Visit Araucana.net for complete info on what an Araucana is. The site is very informative. Murray McMurray does not have Araucana or Ameraucana even thought they...

Your Welcome. Are you getting LF or Bantam? I went in on the order with a friend and she got Bantam Wheatens and they were the cutest things I have ever seen. They were so tiny, they looked like little popcorn balls running around.

Yes you will be able to tell them apart. There are chick photos at the ABC website and that will help. I ordered 15 Brown Reds last year and the order was about 1/2 roos and 1/2 pullets.
Good luck with them.

I noticed recently that this person had won some major awards at the national in Belvidere, Illinois in September. They're not too far from me, but I'm not really into Araucanas...no more room for any new breeds. I think her name is Ann.
Ann Charles is from Mena Arkansas. She has some...

I have contacted Paul Smith about some started Blue Wheatens and I need to send Jean a note to see what she has but I have not officially made up my mind. If I had just listened to John and Mike over at the ABC and gave up on this guy the first time he did this I would be on my way...
Well thats it! Stick a fork in me I AM DONE! My Brown Red Rooster has started attacking me again after weeks of working with him but not only is he attacking me now he is attacking the hens as well so he is DEAD! I tried, I guess he was just wired wrong. I am so upset, partly because he turned...
Rustyswoman, you need to get a copy of the SOP. This book will tell you exactly what birds to keep and which to let go of. I think you can get a B&W copy for around $10.

thats what I was thinking since it was the juniors class right???
I think the judge would have done better to tell the child that his/her bird is not an Ameraucana and show the child the Ameraucana standard in the SOP and explain what the child should look for in his/her next...

Jean, I almost replied to you to say he can't be an Araucana since he has a tail but then I noticed you mentioned that in your post. so, if he's got a tail, how can he be an Araucana?
Isn't it more likely that he's an EE mix between an Araucana (the tufts) and an Ameraucana (the...
