Araucana thread anyone?

I only have one and she is rumpless. She has a perfectly clean bottom. Cleaner than my other fluff bottom chickens.

I get the occasional bird that has that problem with fecal build up around the vent feathers. I just clean it away when I notice it and cut away the offending feathers. I don't pluck, because it hurts them, just the trim. Keeping on top of trimming prevents it, but a bird who has that problem doesn't really grow out of it.

I culled all the birds like that it appeared to be heredity and would pass it down to the female offsprings.

I've culled all the ones that did that, too. I deal with enough poopy butts at work (nurse's assistant), I don't want to deal with it with my birds, too!

Hello~

I am here to ask some questions. I was told by a person who bred Araucanas that this breed is prone to having the feathers around their vent get stuck with poo, is this true? My hen who is going on 4 years old has always done this since I got her, I have had to trim, pluck, and bathe her. Is there anything else I could do to help her? None of my other birds do this, and she is my only Araucana.

Also love all of the lovely bird photos!

my 2 rumpless araucanas have clean butts. I have another hen that had poo stuck around her vent but it was due to IB. once she got well she never had that problem again. I have a sick NN pullet (probably fowl pox + seconday infections) and she has poo stuck around her vent my healthy chickens never have that problem.

If you search on My Pet Chicken (www.mypetchicken.com) they have a good selection to choose from. For your area the minimum order may be 3...if you are only wanting 1 you could easily sell two of them.
