Wilds of Pa,
Yes, John Blehm has been very kind to me by selling some birds several years ago. Yes, I have a few Lavender Aruacanas also for a few years but am limited to space and only sold a few hatching eggs over the last few years. I can not supply the hobby with the amount they are looking for and probably will never be able to. It is just a hobby for me.

I understand that Harry, but i would like to see how yours are looking and coming along.. did you ever get anywere with the uk types which is what i thought you were working on, didnt know you were working on usa types to.?? i could come up and visit you know..

 

[Shaffer]

I had the US type for a few years just look at the list of Araucana breeders list when I joined. I gave up on the UK type since they were only considered EE's. Well, I believe our conversation is over at this time.

Wilds of Pa or any other serious Araucana Breeders: how about starting a education thread for those of us that are new to Araucana

 

[wilds of pa]

what would you like to know?? I'm only involved with them for about 9+ years now, but learned much over this time about them. I can say they are a fantastic breed to have in any chicken yard.

I know very little about Araucana's, but if there are two tailed or partial tailed birds are they able to produce rumpless chicks? The eggs that I got from you I have two that are fully tailed, one partial tailed and three rumpless. All are clean faced. I was wondering if the tailed and partial tailed would be able to have rumpless babies. I need to find a few tufted birds to put in for breeding as well. But I will have to wait a little while before I am able to do that.

I have a question. I have 16 birds and one of them is an Araucana. She's been laying about 3 eggs a day for the last few days. Is this normal or should I be watching out for something. All my other breeds are brown eggs layers so I don't think that they can change egg colors that easily especially when it should be in their genetics. Thanks- Ken

Oh my GOD, three eggs a day???????? That araucana must be in heaven!!! LOL
