Araucana thread anyone?

Ann, that "proper butt" is indeed very nice! My "Black Copper" girl has a butt just like that.

LOVE the naked necked duckwing!!

I knew you wouldn't let her get picked on Ann. She just looks like it. I have a 6 week old BBR roo that still only has wing feathers. He also has long legs and a long neck. He is ugly. I hope he grows into everything but I have serious doubts. My husband keeps asking me about the new turkey cause he hangs out with my baby pet turkey and kinda looks like him.

Sometimes they can be very unfortunate looking.

Its hatching time again. I finally resolved my incubator problems. Mostly me. I built my own cabinet incubator and it works well as long as I maintain the correct heat and humidity. Which means I need to keep checking it and I got so busy that I wasn't. Now as I walk by it I look at the setting and adjust where necessary. Everything is going good. My first chick of the day is a tufted blue. I have 3 eggs in there that are the last three out of my bbr pen after my roo died so I have high hopes for them. They are still sitting there doing nothing but they looked good when I moved them to the brooder so heres hoping. I have two eggs out of my blue roo in there also. He has three tufts so I am hoping for only two tufts per chick. LOL ( I know it doesn't work that way )

The blue chick is only my second of the year out of my double tufted splash hen. She is in with my tuftd blue roo.

I am going to be selling her first chick which is a double tufted blue roo. I have 18 roos and if its not a duckwing and its a boy it goes.

If you are interested in any birds I may have for sale, please check out my sale page on my website.

Chick is fluffy out nicely and looks to maybe be a blue splash. Next chick has pipped and this one is out of my tufted BBR pen. Soo exciting.

I only have a couple more weeks of setting eggs. I want all my hatching to be done by 1st week of November, and then no more till spring. I can't wait to give the incubator a good cleaning and see about making it a little bigger.

I put the first chick out with a broody that is constantly sitting on golf balls. She is super happy to have something to mother again. I will put each one out with her as they fluff up.
