So araucana and ee are not the same right? I have an EE rooster and a hen from him. They are both bearded and she just started laying a beautiful pastel blue egg. I didn't know when I purchased these I'm incubating that they possibly
Might be tufted. I want beards, not tufts. :/
 
Don't worry! Tufted birds are much harder to find than bearded birds..I bet you could easily find someone to trade with. what state are you in?
 
ok, I am asking this question here because I'm not getting answers anywhere else. One of the cutest araucanas that hatched on 2/11, just yesterday, cannot walk. It is definitely not splay leg. Its legs do not go out to the side, he cannot stand unless I balance him, he rolls to get around. He is very strong. I put him in a cup and he gets out every time. I tried a rubber band and straw but its not tight enough ....I don't know what to do or how to do it. His left leg is the problem I believe. It shakes a lot and the other birds peck at him when I put him down to try and walk like they know something is wrong with him :( I think maybe a slipped tendon? or dislocated hip?? I'm not sure but I need a simple way to make him a splint. Im not crafty at all so all pointers are greatly appreciated. Thanks for you help in advance.
 
One time I had a chick that had a difficult hatch. He couldn't walk, but I couldn't see anything physically wrong with him. He would just roll around on the floor. I made him a nest in a plastic container that was about 6 inches wide and lined with a lot of paper towels to make it soft. He couldn't get out, and the other chicks couldn't get high enough to peck him. After about a day and a half he had gained enough strength to walk and went back with the others. I hope you have something simple!
 
Just a public service announcement. This seller of eggs on eBay is pretty darn good. Incredible packaging skills. They proably could have been dropped from a plane and made it intact. Also, they sent me 11 eggs total, for a 6+ listing. I'm used to an egg or two extra, so getting five extras was pretty grand! http://www.ebay.com/itm/6-Standard-...ultDomain_0&hash=item19fba6c3e0#ht_3016wt_968

My normal ability to hyperlink is gone. I am using a computer with an out of date IE browser. Ah well, there is the link! They've been offering regular auctions. Haven't gone too high. I got some for a fairly low price, but I did pay for express shipping.

Purebred Araucanas are definitely different from Easter Eggers. And if you got eggs from bearded birds, the chicks will be bearded. It also means you don't have Araucanas.

Tufts are a dominant trait, so if none of the birds you got eggs from are tufted, you will not have tufts. So at least you don't have to worry about that!

That's Jean!!! She is awesome and I have purchased from her several times! :D

Oh, hi everybody! I have LF Araucanas and Bantam Araucanas and I love them, they are my faves! I really enjoy how distinct their voices are, and their amazing personalities. :)
