Looking for a mentor for my araucana breeding program

[mich9510]

Hi everyone! I haven't posted in a while because I've been busy building pens, brooders and acquiring araucanas. I've recently purchased 22 adult araucanas and hatched out about 40 araucana chicks. I absolutely love these birds!
I have the book 'rings on their ears' and it has a lot of great information but I still have so many questions. The person I purchased these birds and eggs from doesn't show his birds so I wanted to link up with someone who does.
I emailed the secretary of the araucana club of america but thought I would ask here if anyone would be willing to guide us. The goal is to breed and show araucanas (and maybe sell some too, it's been rather expensive...lol) Just to help pay for feed and supplies, I'm not looking to get rich ha ha.
This is a family project that I'm so excited about.

Thanks everyone!

Ann Charles
Owner of Exhibition Poultry online magazine. See her ads there. She has unfortunately stopped publishing it. I miss it. But all the issues are acrhived on-line to read for free. Chock full of excellent quality info. Ann is a top quality breeder. Now it works. I had left out an "e" in the URL.

Also try Dick Dickerson and Mike Gilbert . they both breed top quality aracanas .Mike is in the the American Sussex Association. both of these breeders , like Ann, win big in huge shows.
