What is the genetic code for Araucana "gold duckwing?" Are these similar to red enhanced silver wheatens? What do the females look like? I've only seen the males. Thanks

Like his Sire!

I did not introduce Dun, I discovered it already present in my Araucana. He has produced one dark brown chick as well which died at 3 days old before I could take it's photo. I will hatch more eggs but the hen I used has been broody and isn't laying. I'm stud mating to repeat these colors...

I'm working on Dun.

pbandj - Those hens are beautiful! Here is one of my Araucana chicks...

SoCal heat warnings have been extended until Tuesday. It's over 100 inland. Best way would be to label them "hold for pick up" - that way at least they'd have less time sitting on a truck. Perhaps next week?

Yes please! But I'm worried about the hot weather.

Hmmm, I guess I should have taken a photo of the dark brown, double tufted, rumpless chick that hatched last week. It died of pastiness and I had no idea it was so rare in Araucana or I would have. I can however continue stud mating to the same black hen who produced it but she's gone broody...

What do his daughters look like? Here are some of mine... this one is probably a cockerel

YES, we have! ... Page 712-713 http://www.chickencolours.com/Brownies%20&%20Khakis.pdf It's been fun working with Bud Light!!! Love his daddy's wing flapping picture.

Lemon Dun Araucana cock.

A pretty coloration that pops up in my dun project...

I've been hatching Araucana for a few months now and they keep piping on day 18. Some have piped before I could get them into the hatching tray. Is this common for Araucana? Today is day 19 and all have hatched except one who is still working on it. I did a test with other breed's eggs and...

They are active little buggers aren't they? They kick all their shavings out by the end of the day. I finally had to get them a water dispenser for rabbits.

OK, I'm now officially addicted to Araucana...I lost count after 75 eggs went in the incubator...just added over a dozen more today. LOL!

Thanks Lanae, This helps me! Perhaps it WAS a hen as I didn't see it happen. There is one hen I need to keep my eye on that has "tuft envy!"

My favorite double tufted hen has been severely injured by her mate! I should have taken a "before" picture of the wound before I sutured it up! Poor thing. I've had chickens for years and have seen young cockerels really injure a hens head and rip holes in the skin etc. But THIS! I've...

Thank you. That's a big help and I bet my hatch rate goes UP! Since I don't have a hatcher (YET) I guess I can find a portable pan.

YES, I do. LOL! Ok, thank you. The lowest I can get my humidity with both vents open is 49%. How do I lower humidity...cover the water reservoir? I don't think the pan is removable.
