Araucana thread anyone?

can you sell? cull does not mean kill, right?

he looks like EE. he has yellow legs too.
No, cull does not outright mean butcher, simply removing from the herd or flock. Technically you could cull him by placing him in a different pen
 
I guess, but who’s going to buy chickens with 3 tail feathers....

I did. I had a double tufted rooster who was partially tailed. I wasn't going to breed him to my true araucana, plus he was a project color... he was paint. A fox nabbed him, unfortunetly.
 
Hey y'all how's it going? I lost my cockerel to again a dog, I'm expecting one at the end of the month from Ann Horsman. My pullets are laying now, but obviously too young, and too small eggs. I'm lucky if they're over 40 grams. River is almost 2 years old and finally laying about a 60-gram egg. I have 2 of hers in the incubator now to see if anything develops finally or not. She's housed with an American Bresse Roo. I'm not sure if they're even fertile or not. My Bresse pullets are obviously loosing feathers from breeding, but I haven't noticed this on River.
Well, River still isn't fertile, or the roo doesn't like her. 6 Bresse chicks hatched over the weekend. 2 never developed, and 17 died before hatch day, so I have to remove them tonight.
