Araucana thread anyone?

This batch's hatching has started, 2 out of the shell so far and more on the way.

I'd love to watch but with slow dial up, I can't do the video's

In that case, just trust me that he's glorious in his rooster-ness.

Lucy, He is glorious. It looked like his tufts were staying magnificant also.

Lanae, his tufts are off the chain! Not only are they symmetrical, they keep looking fluffier and bouncier. My four-year old son tells him, "Gomez, your tufts are bouncin' and behavin'!" He heard that expression from my sister and loves it.

Anyway, I had to trim vent feathers last night and it was nasty. I did my best but I'm a little fretful. I wonder what else I can do to keep their rear ends clean.

Ohh, congrats! I hope you have an awesome hatch with lots of tufts and rumpless booties1

Several nice chicks hatched, not seeing any tufts but they're all rumpless and most are white from my white pen.
