araucana

Hello! I have 2 Lavender Araucana chicks. They are 3 weeks at the moment and I was wondering if it was possible to tell which is which (hopefully not two roosters). One has a more pronounced comb and its redder than the other's. P.S. I added a photo from the internet of how the grown-ups should...

Hi this hen was sold to me as a pure bred araucana blue egg layer. I don't know much about chicken breeds, but from my research araucanas shouldn't have tail feathers and should have neck tufts and yellow feet. This lady certainly has some serious tail feathers and has slate feet and also has a...

I was sure the RIR was a pullet bbu now has these two curly tail feathers also now unsure of the lavender araucana (Australian version) .. please let me know your guesses. They are 20 weeks now.

Hello I’m Freida I’ve had my own backyard chickens for the last two years, however I’ve looked after and cared for chickens since I was about 9 (I’m 18). Currently I have 6 hens, 2 chicks (female) and 2 cockerels that live at my grandad’s house (as we have a semi detached house) My oldest...

I'm starting this thread to document my first time incubating eggs. These eggs, if fertile, would be fathered by my rooster, Napoleon. He was stolen from us a week ago, by a human, and I’ve been collecting eggs since. Napoleon was a tufted white Araucana, a beautiful boy who was great with my...

Hello Everybody! My name is Sage and I am from Australia (please forgive me if I make spelling errors it is 11PM at night) My Araucana hen who is about 3-5 years old has been recently laying eggs with a brittle shell, even though grit is available. Since about 7PM this evening, she has been in...

This is a show for purebred Araucanas only. I love Araucanas, and I am looking forward to judging this comp. I hope people will have fun in this competition! there is no prize, but who cares? Up to 2 entrys per person, and a little info on the bird would be wonderful too. Have fun! Rules: 2...

a) Which colors of the rumbless araucana breed carry the silver gene? b) Which colors of the crested araucana (english) carry the silver gene?

Hi there, I’m new here. My kids and I have hatched out some chicks and they are now almost 6 weeks old. I’m hoping someone can help us with sexing our chicks. We love them all but will are not allowed roosters where we are. The parents are a combination of Araucana, Silkie and Frizzle. We are...

Hello all. I picked up a day old Aracuana yesterday...I noticed when we got home she had a little 'string' hanging out of her backside. I have attached a photo. I tried to give it a little pull but nothing happened. I didn't want to pull too hard and hurt her (hopefully her). Is it some yolk...

Please Help, I am having a hard time trying to help my poorly hen. She is an Araucana And about 2 years old but I have only had her for 3 months. When I got her, all the feathers were missing from her back (her previous owner told me she was picked on by one of his roosters) but she was full of...

I have racked my brain on what's going on with my 2 year old araucana (pictures included). About a month ago she started losing feathers (and I noticed many of her remaining feathers were brittle) but was still laying normally, running around with the other chickens, and eating and drinking...

I'm in the Watsonville area on an 8-acre, certified-organic boutique farm. These two Henriettas turned out to be Henrys, which I'm not allowed to have on this farm. They came from Belt Hatchery via Corralitos Feed, and were hatched March 6th and brought to the farm on the 7th. They have been...

6 from my black pen and 6 from my white pen. Some tufted in the pens, some clean faced. All rumpless. Shipping is $15 Continental US only As always, unable to guarantee hatch rates. I'm hatching a bunch right now and just don't have more room.

Hey guys :) Been lurking around on the forums for a little while and finally decided to create an account: I'm fairly new to chickens, had my first flock this year. I had 2 Koekoek hens, 3 Boschvelder ladies and a Boschvelder rooster. Sadly, all were taken by -- wait for it -- baboons, while...

I'm looking to add two new chickens to my flock. I currently have two Golden laced Wyandotte a little over a year old and one Isa brown about 7 months. I was thinking about adding a Buff orphington and possibly a speckeled susuex, Americauna, Araucauna or Welsummer. What would be a docile...

I currently have two araucana chicks, one golden laced Wyandotte, and a Rhode Island Red chick. They are around one week old and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the 2 araucanas will look like when they grow up. Thank you Also, in the second picture it doesn’t show it but she doesn’t...

Anyone ordered from Paris Farmers Union and feeling willing to share their experience? I'm looking at them specifically for Araucana pullets and (maybe) Embden goslings. I've read plenty of warnings that large hatcheries or retailers sell Araucanas, Easter Eggers, and Ameraucana or Americana...

Willing to pay fair price, as I am only 15 and have to pay for this out of my pocket I can only afford so much. The reason I am in search of colorful layers, is to make more $ by selling them so I can buy a new incubator. I am looking for the following: Araucana Ameraucana Easter Egger Legbar...

I am looking for chickens(1-3) of the breeds silkies, easter eggers, americanas, or araucanas. Age doesn't matter, but they have to be female as we can not have roosters as much as we would like to I am located in Western Mass and am willing to drive a reasonable distance. Thanks!
