Araucana hatching eggs?

[TexasBlues]

Does anybody have recommendations on finding araucanas? I’ve found these 2 places and was hoping somebody could give feedback? Thanks!

Are you new to keeping chickens? Do you want to hatch them or could you buy chicks?

I am fairly new to chickens. Please go see my chickens here: https://www.youtube.com/@TexasBlues3000/videos


I am aware of the lethal double tuft gene and the lower than average hatch rates with aruacanas.
There’s 2 reason I would start with eggs.
1st is I get the first choice of the chicks that hatch. If I buy chicks from a breeder, there’s a good chance that the breeder would sell their culls that they don’t want to keep.
2nd is bio security. I feel more comfortable getting eggs than live birds that may be carriers of disease.

I would be hesitant to order from Sky blue only for the reason they only ship 9 eggs. I’m thinking I would need more than that to get some quality chicks.

If you buy from a hatcherh and get them deliverd. ur first reason is fixed but then u still arent guerenteed all females. if u get eggs try cackle hatchery for chicks or fertile eggs and then awsomeamarucanas that u linked up there.

At less than a day old, there really isn't much at all to judge for someone to keep back

Hatcheries are not the same as breeder quality. They want great quality birds not mediocre

Plus it’s hatchery quality not great
