It is great to see this thread active once again!!
I still have my single blue Araucana hen. She laid a few eggs earlier in the spring but I have not seen a blue egg since..I've seen her on the nest but no blue egg...I hope see is not eating them........
My pullet (just short of 6 months old) laid her first egg yesterday! I officially have a true blue egg layer!
I've made it through the first 140 pages of this thread.....learning much and enjoying all the pictures that have been posted......of course, they are two - three years old at this...
Thank you for the compliments, but Ray_n_Debi have to get any credit for her beauty!
Maybe I should rephrase the question. The Standard calls for "Shape -- Female - Ear-tufts: Good length, matching in size, well defined curve."
Hers are of good length and the size is the same but position is...
I have, what I think is, a beautiful splash pullet that I hatched from BBS eggs from Ray_n_Debi. I have no experience with Araucanas and am making my way through this thread. Is it "normal" for tufts to grow "circular"/"around" instead of "back and away" from the face?
