No, I mean...I took 2 EEs that were with an Ameraucana cock and put them in with my Araucana cock.
I thought it would be up to 3 weeks. I'll find out. I hatch weekly!

Thanks for the info. I do know at 4 weeks for sure.

Alright, here are my 3 week old chooks! (more pics later to come. . )

There are still the chipmunks I'm unsure on if they're BBR or Gold or Silver Duckwing though, and one of my superiorly tufted chicks I have no clue of being white or Splash. . .

This tufted pullet started out solid black, but now is feathering in as a red-smudged black.

One of the three well-tufted ones. This one MAY be white, and likely to be splash

This shot really shows why I think it is white. Gary does have both white and splash

Size comparison between a 3 week old Splash and a 4 week old Blue Wheaten Marans cockerel

My "blue cuckoo" pair is still feathering possibly the fastest, and still looks like an odd "mock barring"

Left to right: yellow/brown smudged blue, tufted black cockerel, splash

Absolutely adorable chicks!
Gary does have some wonderful birds. Most of mine came from him to start me off. I am fortunate to live close enough that I was able to drive down and get them. It was great to meet him and talk in person. I really like him and he is full of great info.

Beautiful birds!! I"m happy to see that you name them properly. Ketros, (or Quetros)and colloncas,their ancient indian names.

I have mostly mongrels ("country chickens", we call them , down here.Mostly are blue/green layers like many of these chickens,,,). This splash, "collonca de aretes ", a pullet, is the best I can show, with a little of shame....

And this little black ketro. (can you see the earing? ) sorry , the pics, are not the best....

I was just poking around over at the Araucana Breeders Club forum and saw a post by a breeder where he mentioned that he trims his breeding chickens, and was expecting it to increase his fertility. I guess it is sometimes a technique employed by Araucana breeders.

Was sitting out earlier with my one flock of araucana, snapping a few pics here and there and just watching them enjoy another beautiful day here in the great north east........

Never no trimming needed here...We breed naturally only...

As soon as I can figure out how to post pics. I will put some of my araucana up here.
