Sheesh, this thread moves fast!!

No hatchlings yet on my bator. Going to go hover though. Because that helps the eggs hatch

This is a picture of my only Araucana hen, Hanna. She has large tufts, is rumpless and lays a blue egg.

I have a son in Louisville, KY and have been trying to plan a trip down to Nashville from there. If I get down that way, do you want some eggs?

@NotAFarm what kind of feed do you feed your chickens? and everyone else............


btw has anyone seen @Alaskan I am getting worried ... maybe after the nighmare the spouse locked em into a cage?

I feed Purina Startena free choice. It is a gamebird starter that has 30% protein. I feed oyster shell free choice. They get meal worms (dried or home raised), fermented whole and cracked grains, sprouted grains/seeds and whatever scraps from the house or garden I think they'll eat.

Yes, hovering is required for eggs to hatch!

Are they both cockerels? Are they loners by choice or are they run-off by the flock? They look perfectly happy among the trees! What kind of tree is that with the mottled bark?

They are both pullets.....The white one we renamed La-a. the dash ain't silent! (la dash uh) she is a polish. The other one is a cuckoo Marans; Her name is Cocoa. They are loners by choice. That tree is an old oak!

OMG!!! Hanna is gorgeous, @NotAFarm!! Jim just asked how much you want for her, lol... Our LF Araucanas are still chicks right now, been hatching lots to build my flock, only have the bantam ones actively breeding right now...
I would absolutely LOVE some Icelandic eggs if you come down!! Thank you!!

I was looking for a better picture of her head/face. This one is from last spring. The others were taken on the 15th of this month.
