Araucana thread anyone?

I'm confused by all the gold in the cockerel... is there birchen in him do you know? Is that the one that is supposed to be just blue?

He was sold as a blue mottled. I don't know where the gold is coming from.

Uno laid her first egg today! It is the one on the left; Mama's is on the right. Uno was the first chick I hatched in an incubator. She is from Rachel Bayes/Willow Acres.

A rare, "decent" picture of MJ. He always looks so cranky in pics, and in reality he is the complete opposite.

Congrats on the egg Trish!
My Araucanas aren’t laying right now. Looloo’s comb is bright red, but no eggs.

I agree.
Here's the boys... I had to go home to take care of something with my child ( ) and took some time down with the chickens and took some picks of them for Ann.

The blue cuckoo, Garrus, has yellow legs. Both Blackwall (blue mottled) and Liara (blue paint) have mottled yellow; so yellow feet, but darker scales on the front of their legs.

edited for clarity, I got some of them backwards. LOL

So Annabelle has gone through a partial molt. She’s regrowing her wing feathers now. Looloo on the other hand molted her tuft feathers and grew them back in. Her comb is bright red, but she’s not laying. Trish I hope you will keep the pullets and hens who are good layers as breeders if they meet requirements.

Chickens the other day.
