Araucana thread anyone?

[junebuggena]

. This is my four month old EE. I am new to chickens but I am curious I have not seen her color or pattern marking on any other EE hen so I'm wondering what her mix could be i got her from a hatchery in new England.

Not Araucana, I can tell you that much for sure. That's actually a very common coloring for Easter Eggers, it's called wild-type partridge.

Thanks for the info junebuggena I knew she was an EE but I keep seeing other colors not her particularly so its nice to know what her coloring is called we love her. We say if she was a person she would be a comedian. She is always the first one to greet me every morning and she loves yo talk to us its almost a coo .

I like the pattern on your EE. mine is more buff. she does have more of pattern on her back but I don't have a pic.

I have seen many pics of other hens like yours with the same color and markings but not any with the amount of marking our little Harmony has.I think your girl looks like she is lit up so bright and colorful.

That was going to be my guess. Two or maybe even three years old. I may get an egg from her occasionally. It will be neat to see a blue egg in person, never seen that before. She is so lovely in appearance and temperament that she has really made me fall in love with the breed.

this is my rescue one eyed girl:


she is about 5,5 months old. and this is her first egg

Here are a few of my birds. The pictures were taken at the poultry show in Modesto California last month. I entered 7 Large Fowl Golden Duckwing there were also 3 Black araucana exhibited by others in the AOSB class in the show. For the bantam exhibited in the AOCCL class, there were 6 blacks, 1 blue, and 5 whites exhibited by others. This was the Araucana Club of America's National Show.

Is the last rooster a golden duckwing? I'm still learning about the different color varieties. I mostly have black arucanas, I have a young rooster that I thought was black with some gold leakage. As he has gotten older, he's also gotten more gold. Now I'm thinking he may be a golden duckwing. He looks similar but not exactly the same.

Do any of you have any araucana hens that have spurs. I just bought a hen and she has spurs on both feet. Just wondering if this is common in araucana hens.
