nope she is white. or is a very diluted buff , these came from a breeder that has been breeding araucanas for 23 yrs!

I'm pretty sure that isn't an Araucana. Of course, the image is very small and he's very far away, plus you're in Canada. . . But that looks like an Easter Egger.

Is this from your hen who's eating her own eggs? Guess you caught her in time today.......... good thing too, that's a beautiful egg. The same thing surprised me about my own banty Araucana hens - the gigantic blue eggs they lay! The fertile Araucana bantam eggs that I ordered for the incubator were teensey compared to what I get from my girls, so I guess this trait is line specific.

Yes- this egg actually got a poke in it. Haven't found another one since. Now I think it's the other birds eating them- she's laying on the floor. I've never seen her get in the nest box- she's probably afraid she'll be squashed!
