I'd have to say that until they are a week or two old you really can't tell

I have some araucana eggs due to hatch any day and someone wants two lavender colours! How do I tell!? Any help would be awesome!

What are the possible colors from your hatch? You can tell lavender right away, it will hatch looking very silver and fluff out a very pale gray... the only color you might have issues telling apart from it is if you have any pale blues... even then you can usually tell those apart...

Heck, there's still a debate as to how the aracauna came to be, or at least the blue egg laying parent bird. Some say it originated in Polynesia somewhere, others say indigenous evolution. Besides, humans have a lot more history with domestic fowl than we do with being able to document things.

The Araucana is well known as an American made breed. It was developed from South American breeds (Collonca's and Quetero's) and the blue egg gene has been proven to be the result of a virus, this happened long before the Araucana was developed in the US. The Araucana is listed as an American Heritage breed because it was made in the US.

Here is some good information to know.

So I discovered which chicken was laying the green egg...it was NOT the black hen. It is my sweet Caramel!

Anyone have any for sale or know of anyone I can buy them from, color doesn't matter, would like the white or blue ones....do they go broody easy? Do they make good mothers? Are these big birds or smaller like duckwing?
Thanks
Ethan
