I would like to see better pictures

Cuckoo? I can't see them really well on my phone :(

I see a color that is not SOP. But, that is only for your information, not criticising in any way. Most of mine are not SOP. I only require mine to be tailless, fertile, of course healthy. And the hens MUST lay a blue egg.

If they have tufts, they are not Ameraucanas. Ameraucanas have muffs and beards. Ameraucanas only lay blue eggs, another reason your hens may be Easter Eggers.

Howdy neighbor!

Are you in the USA?

If you are in the US and your chickens have tails, you do not have Araucanas.

Check with some of the folks here on the Araucana threads, they offer eggs occassionally!

Please do not consider the quarantine area lockdowns as being lame. Avian flu is not a disease to be nonchalant about. If the disease spread is not contained it could be disasterous to the entire poultry industry in the USA.

Exactly why I breed clean faced Araucana. I don't have any intentions of showing, so my chickens don't need tufts. I don't have to contend with the horrible hatch rates caused by breeding tuft to tuft matings. And best of all, I don't have to try to figure out what to do with the chicks that do...

Hatching Araucanas and then raising them is no different than any other breed. Just be careful when buying your hatching eggs. If two tufted chickens are used when breeding, up to 50% of the chicks will die before hatching as a result of the tufting gene. Ask the breeder if there are tufted and...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Nice looking rooster!

Ok, I am thinking that colors other than white are supposed to have colored legs. You have some very nice looking birds there. Regarding the 'yellowing' of your rooster's feathers - the sunlight does that.

I am not sure, but I think a Splash is genetically just a very pale blue. All of the white Araucanas that I have hatched have yellow legs.

Yes white Araucanas should have yellow legs. The blue Araucanas should not have yellow legs. I don't know about the barring genes. Is it possible that the white one is really a Splash? That would explain the colored legs.

Your pictures are welcome on this thread! You know if you want a thread about Australian Araucanas, you could start one yourself. Just start the thread by telling your story about how you got interested in the breed, post some pictures and you have the thread started. Continue with more...

My opinion? Lack a tail has nothing to do with fertility. IF there is a structural short coming that causes infertility, I would blame extreme shortness in the lenght of the rooster's back. When breeders choose their breeding stock they need to be sure they choose hens and roosters that have...

Fertility rates vary from flock to flock, even chicken to chicken. If you are breeding tufted bird to tufted bird, the number of chicks that actually hatch can be as low as 25% or as high as 75% of the number of eggs incubated.

Darn! All I have for a color chart is OAC color chart..........
