I'm soo glad. I now had to Aracaunas and 6 RIR's
ordering more!

Good trade, although you don't have any Araucanas there. You have a pretty Easter Egger hen, looks like.

Welcome to BYC!

Ok i don't know how to say this without sounding mean. I don't mean it like that at all.

but, quite frankly, i don't care. I'm just glad i have something like this not stupid silkies. I love the olive green egg. Only 1 egg a day from the two of them though

 

[speckledhen]

I didn't mean anything by it, except to let you know what you have, since some folks do care. Not a thing wrong with Easter Eggers, have some myself. Be nice to see a picture of them in daylight when you get some.

I think it was a good trade myself. Don't care for Silkies.

Are these bantams. I have never seen an
Araucanas. Also whats is the difference EE, Araucanas
Ameraucanas.
I just had a hatch of 5 ameraucanas standards.
and have tried to get pics to post.
but Im just not able.
I may have to call the geek squad.

This will help explain the difference a bit. There are numerous threads here about the subject.

Thanks a bunch.

day. Now Dh can not say Iam not going to class.

I'm in the same boat as you. This Spring I bought two chicks solds as "Araucana" but they looked more like "Ameraucana", so I came to BYC and settled on calling them EEs. But I didn't care, I hadn't had chickens in over 20 years and I was just excited to have chickens again...I missed having them around. Love both of my EEs. Now if they would just lay some eggs!!

Congrats and enjoy!! They are very pretty.

i just got three silkies, and i was wondering what problems you had with them...

did i make the wrong choice??

thanks!!
