Araucana thread anyone?

That probably won't be much longer. Fall is moving in quick... too quick. We're on our second week of below average temps.

Yea, I'm still above average, but in the 70s.

Part of me just wants to stomp like a little kid. I want them Now Now NOW! LOL

I don't have any Araucana's I have their close relatives Ameraucana's because I have heard the Araucana's are difficult to hatch with a high death rate in the shell. However I would love to have some if I can find them close to home here in Texas/Okla.
Here is some pictures of my Americana Flock when they were younger. Still not sure which are hens & which are Roosters. Waiting to see which ones lay eggs.
Have also been told that these may be Easter Egger and not Amercauna's. So maybe you can give me your opinion.

Depending on where you are in Texas (Panhandle?), there's somebody in Missouri and another in Louisiana who breed.

Your birds are Easter Eggers.

Actually, I didn't look at the pics at all... now I did... I'd have to agree. And the brown one being held on the pine chips is a cockerel.

Thank you. I guess I will have to let my neighbor who gave me eggs to hatch just what he has. He was told Ameraucana.

I'm now down to one chick that my hen hatched. From 9 eggs to 6 hatching, and my damned dog has killed 4 and suspected to have killed a 5 th.

The only swedish flower chick is gone Wah. That freaking dog has killed an entire flock this year. I can't even figure out how they managed to get out of the run. I've reinforced the bottom 4 feet with 1/2 inch hardware cloth.

Maybe it’s time to get rid of the dog.

Yeah, I need to contact the breeder and tell her I'm bringing her back. I hate to be that person, but I can't buy more birds every few months.
