Araucana thread anyone?

My breeder is liquidating her stock. She works nights now, and can't take care of her chickens! :-( I'm snapping up some.... A cockerel, a hen and two pullets.

AND... I have a clutch under my speckled Sussex. LOL so.... Idk what I'm gonna do with myself!

What a lucky turn of events for you! What colors are the birds you’re getting?
We will need pictures!

I'll pick them up this weekend, but... I'm getting two double tufted pullets, one clean hen and one clean cockerel... BBR. and she got the two pullets from Sky Blue... I have a screen shot of the receipt
now I gotta figure out how to integrate what is essentially a flock, into a flock.

@Trish1974 did you set eggs?
@Frazzemrat1 how do the eggs look under your broody?

@Trish1974 did you set eggs?

No, I have not. I am STILL waiting on my dozen cuckoo Araucana eggs from Willow Acres. They were supposed to ship this week... well, here it is Friday and no eggs. And worse yet, I will have to throw away 2 of my saved eggs a day for each day here on out that I don't have those cuckoo eggs! She will be getting an email tonight!
