Araucana thread anyone?

They arrived today, all doing well eating, drinking and pooing up a storm.

The GDW is named Dark Wing, after dark wing duck. The black my son has donned Konnichiwa, after one he named earlier this year that died. I need help with naming the blue one.

I'm almost positive that the GDW is a Cockerel. He's huge compared to the other 2, almost twice their size.

Well, I was moving too fast and posted this elsewhere... LOL but Ok, here you go... Ashoka is a bit over a year, and Varric should be 10.5 weeks to 11.5... same size. I know, not standing up, but with her molting it was the only way to get them together. Lol.

Guys, I have a question. I have a LF Australorp Cochin x that went broody today. Do you think she'll adopt the new chicks?

Doubtful. She hasn't been broody long enough for you to know it will stick and with the chicks being older that lessens the chances even more.

Thanks, I won't try then. I don't want dead chicks.

Just got home from work. Changed clothes, ran out to the coop to check for chicks...I don't hear a single peep. I tap on the wall...still no sounds. I open up the nest box door, and see this:

SCREW THAT INCUBATOR!!!
