Carmel (Coberdor) sold me eggs last yeat and to date they are the BEST Araucana in my flock. I love them! One hen is very heavily tufted and I will be entering her in a show, just for fun, in the spring. Thanks again Carmel!

I do appreciate your honesty!

No, she is an Americauna or an Easter Egger (mutt). Hatcheries labeled them as Araucana incorrectly.

OK - WHO IS THAT BEAUTIFUL CHOOK IN THE BACKGROUND!!! Oh my goodness - what an awesome bird! Does it have a black skin? Wow! Just... wow! I have some black skinned birds but that one is amazing!

What would her DQ be? I'mnot saying she doens't have any - just wondering!! THANKS!

Thanks! She was from an egg from Corderdor (sp?) from this thread - couldn't have been happier with her eggs!!!!!!! Highly recommended!

Hello all! Could this girl be entered into a show? My kids desperately want to put a chicken in a show, but we don't have show-quality birds. This Araucana is beautifully tufted, even more so than the pic shows, but is not 100% white and has yellow legs. Not tail, obviously! I don't need to...

She didn't have any eggs that she was sitting on, she was just pretending! Had I had the foresight, I would have realized I should have left them in her nest, but I collected them to eat. I did break her of being broody about 3 weeks ago after she sat for a VERY very VERY long time. But she...

So... I had an Araucana girl lay eggs daily for maybe 1 month when she first laid at about 20 weeks, then go broody for a month and a half. That was about 3 weeks ago. She hasn't laid since. When can I expect her to lay again?

OK I knew Araucana had a tendancy for broodiness, but seriously, my girl has been on imaginary eggs for at least a month and a half. What should I do? I pull her off once or twice a day, she takes a few bites, and runs back to her post. Do I just leave it alone? She's not sick, and she was...

I do love that rooster dance, my late great Broccoli used to trip on his own wing when he put it down to dance.

. Although that is one distinction between Collonca and Araucana, I guess - the Collonca have little sexual characteristic differences, but my Araucana males definately have bigger combs.

LOL, BOTH are back in the brooder! Now there's a place for hubby! Just kidding!

What are people's thoughts on Colloncas? Are they really a separate breed or simply a clean-faced rumpless Araucana?

You should post that question in the emergencies/diseases/cures section, too. Hopefully that will get some responses! Wish I could help...

Jealous!

I get about 40-50% on shipped Araucana eggs.

WANTED: ARAUCANA MALE in NEW ENGLAND Hello fellow rumpless lovers... My gorgeous BBR roo Broccoli died yesterday. I am heartsick. On top of that, my poor Araucana hens have no one to appreciate them. Does anyone in the New England area have an extra true rumpless Araucana male they need...

Not all traits are simple follow Mendelian genetics with complete dominance/recessiveness so maybe the legs are inherited by some other genetic process, ie incomplete dominance, codominance, or multiple alleles, etc?

I think that while not ideal, shipped eggs work better than their reputation would have everyone believe. I have had hatching rates on shipped eggs go anywhere from 60 to 100%. I think that some sellers (like some ebay sellers) hide behind the shipped egg thing to account for their own low...
