Araucana thread anyone?

Brace yourself my dear - it has been my repeated experience that the feed stores do NOT appreciate being educated on the matter. And it really isn't their fault..... I suppose...... It is the hatcheries who know full well that they are selling a mislabeled breed. But, it all comes down to the Standard of Perfection and per that book, the Araucana and the Ameraucana are two different breeds and what the vast majority of the hatcheries sell as an interchangeable combo of the two is in fact neither......
anyhow - your little chicks is BEAUTIFUL!! Looks fat and happy too

Enjoy her (as clearly you already are).

Oh I will not be rude, I just want them to know because they still have some there.
And thank you. =) She is definitely my little buddy!

This one's for you Lanae; Lushion lost his spur and bled non stop for a couple of hours before we took pity on him and plugged the "leak" My life must be lacking something because I get far and away too much giggle value out of the fact that he had to strut around with Dora bandages for a few days.

This made me laugh out loud... a Dora Band Aid would be all that was available to my chickens, too! Wait - there may be some Phineas and Ferb ones in there, too.... but oh the humiliation of a roo with a Dora Band Aid! Too cute!

Ha Ha! Thank you for laughing MA mama - It's good to know I'm not alone out here in my hysteria.

So, while I've been missing out on this forum, did I miss any updates on your Araucana book Lanae? I haven't missed it release have I?

Thank you both on the egg color. Yup, she walks like she just got back from horseback riding

You gonna take a swing at incubating the gigantic egg?!

Are you sure that's an egg and not a beach ball?

That is Awesome! Love the color too.
