She is GORGEOUS! WOW! Her tufts are really something!

He is GORGEOUS!

They are GORGEOUS! That just fueled the fire! I am hoping to get some lacing. But if not oh well. I do want to try it once just to fill my curiosity. I can picture a BLR Araucana, not even sure it is possible, but maybe one day. It would be a spectacular looking bird in my opinion!

Thank You for the info. It is very helpful. I actually have an all black hen but I have had some issues with the hens from this breeder not being able to lay their first egg and had to cull them...so I don't really think I should hatch out any eggs from her and this rooster. I am sure they are...

REALLY? I didnt know that! He has alot of color bleed...or whatever it is called.? I was told most breeders would cull him. He should be completely black correct?

Have a question. Anyone crossed an Araucana with a blue laced red Wyandotte? This is my rooster Any idea what the offspring would look like?

VERY nice birds Smoothmule!

Oh Cool! We live in Harris County...near Columbus. probably 40 minutes south of Newnan. Thank You, we have worked really hard on our place. It was covered in sweet gum trees(which are awful BTW) and vines with thorns all over them. We got it cleaned up now we need to plant some nice trees and...

Thank you Lanae for the input. I will take you up on that offer in the future if necessay.

Thank you Puddin Fluff for your good wishes. I am hopeful my remaining 2 Araucana hens will go into laying without any problems. I dont really blame the breeder....I do understand being a producer of animals is risky business. I just want to get as much learning as possible from this...

I ordered my chicks as day olds and they got to my home a couple of days later. All seemed fine, I was watching for pasty butt and taking good care of them. I am a stay at home Mom and both of my children are school age....so I have plenty of time to dedicate to chicks. I was always out there...

To consolidate what has been going on..... I ordered chicks March 2012. In my bunch I received 2 chicks that did not look "right" realized that they couldn't poo on their own. I was kindly advised by an Araucana breeder here on BYC to cull them, which I believe was good advice.....especially...

I have rethought the idea of giving up on Araucanas. I love them so much! I thought about hatching out some of my own eggs but I am also concerned it is a line problem so I have decided against that idea. I am going to try a completely different line and see what the differences are....I...

It was an egg :( This would have been her first egg. It was a large+ size egg trying to come out of a bantam sized Araucana. I don't know if she could have ever passed the egg..... There was alot of fecal matter and some yellowish matter so I think she was backing up and getting...

Yes she did smell...REALLY BAD! I am pretty set on checking her further tomorrow just to learn from the situation. At least her death would not be for nothing. If I knew she was healthy I would have probably attempted to dress her but not knowing for sure I am passing on that thought. So...

Someone on my other thread said I should have lubed my finger and stuck it up in there and found where her skin flap and the egg meet and urge the skin from around the egg and then the egg would have come out....she posted this 5 minutes ago....a little late to try it. Now it is haunting me a...

I did open her up a little to try and see what was inside. Alot of poop was inside but i did not see a huge egg....but I dont know if the huge egg would go backward up inside her body once her muscle tissue was not alive anymore and completely relaxed? I have never cleaned and dressed an animal...

thank you for saying so....I find comfort she is not suffering anymore.

Thank You for the info and help....I put her out of her misery.

No the pics just showed her vent. Nothing showed to really help to anyone Most of the info i have gathered has been from feeling a little on the inside. Thank You for the advise. i will be more careful where i get my stock from and will be sending an email to let the breeder know she...
