Araucana thread anyone?

Gorgeous birds! I’m finally hatching mail-order Araucana eggs after wanting these birds for 20 years. I’ll be happy if I can get one male, one female.

Where did you get them from? Still looking for a plan b if my first choice doesn't have enough pullets to cover everyone interested

I ordered 3 doz eggs last week from Awesome Araucana/Edd Sheppard. After I hopefully hatch at least a couple from those by April, I’m going to source eggs from some members in the Araucana Club of America Facebook group. If anyone here has suggestions for egg sources I’d love them!

Do they have a website or a FB page?

Simone Roland on fb. She has a website but I’m not sure the url. Maybe she links to it on her fb page. Not a lot of info on website but in fb you can message her.

Does anyone know of any Canadian breeders selling Araucanas hatching eggs?
I have a rumpless roo and hen, or so I thought,..... but the roo is growing a few tail feathers it looks like.
My son has so much fallen in love with his look that he’d love to hatch some.

post a pic of your roo's tail.

the rumpless gene is dominant so you can hatch from your pair and then cull hard.

I can’t cull

Yep, he looks partially tailed. If you don't want to cull him, just don't breed him. If you have the room; buy another more favorable cockerel.

He also has muffs instead of tufts, so he’s likely an araucana mix.
