Araucana thread anyone?

Aloha,

Scroll back a few pages where I believe Smoothmule posted a link to such a study and associated genes. Looks like I didnʻt bookmark it so youʻll have to go look for it.

Am I allowed to ask for someone to private message me if they have show quality gold duckwings araucana that they sell hatching eggs? If not I can delete.
(Had a breeder fall through and now im scrambling to get eggs in time for both sets to go in at the same time as planned... -gulp-)
Black or Duckwing are preferred...thank you for your time.

Hi all. I just got these 2yr old araucaunas from a fellow byc member. She is beautiful. He was bullied by another roo before I got him. Hoping after a couple of molts he will look great too. Can anyone tell me what color they are in araucauna terms? Thanks!

She is closest to being black breasted red, but color/pattern is a little muddied... he is mixed color... hope he molts out and gets new feathers soon... make sure he gets some extra protein to help him with feather growth...

Thanks. I don't think they are used to getting treats. I offered boiled eggs for the extra protein. My other chickens LOVE eggs! The newbies weren't impressed. The new roo doesn't care for boss either. I'll keep trying new things. Any thoughts on what I might get if I hatch from these two? Or am I better off using him to make EE's with my other girls? Original owner said he had ear tufts before he got picked on. She never did.I had hoped to get a pair out of them for 4-H but they have to be a recognized breed which I assume means recognized colors too.
