Pictures are a necessity! Congratulations! I got cochin eggs and cochin/rosecomb eggs in the bator, and polish and silkie eggs in the mail!

I think it's just the spring air. How many are you getting and where from?

We are getting 8 Araucanas and 8 speckled sussex from Mt. healthy. I ordered from them because they are close and I didn't have to order 25. I bought my first flock from Murray Mc. and I really loved them. Hope these are as healthy and happy as the others!

I've never tried to hatch my own. I'm hoping we will have a broody soon as I'm going to let her raise a clutch. I think I'm getting to be a little bit of an compulsive, addicted, can't help myself, kinda chicken person!!

We have 15 in my first flock of almost 2 yrs old. 5 bantam chicks I compulsively bought from tsc the first of Apr. and now I am getting 16 MORE.

AND that is not all!! I want to go get a few BUCKEYES!!!

It's getting out of hand! Please someone STOP me!!

I will try to post pics on Monday. I'm also electronically challenged!!

Yup, they're Easter Eggers. No hatcheries sell Araucanas.

Get some pics when they arrive though.

Easter Eggers come in so many colors, although hatcheries offer a common BBR/Duckwing type variety all the time, I do love seeing the weird ones. . .

As for real Araucanas. . . Man was I excited when I got mine. . . Now I can't wait until they mature all the way to about 6 months, and get us some amazing, true blue eggs.

I got some babies on Thursday, so cute, and I am waiting for some eggs to hatch. Am trying out the photo upload thing.

 

[CindyG]

Ah hah, it works!! No stopping me now!!

 

[OHhappychicks]

Congrats!! BarredBuff!! That glow is really getting bright around here!

And Illia, I would love to see pics of your true Aruacanas and their eggs!

CindyG,

Thanks for posting your pics! I may be calling on you to show me how~

Congratulations!

Mine are four weeks old now and I am sooo amazed at how fast they grow. Enjoy!

 

[OHhappychicks]

They do grow up fast don't they.

One minute they are little fluff balls, then before you know it, they have flown to the coop!! They rarely write. The only time they pay any attention to you is if you go out with some snacks!

Then if you don't have any, they just ruffle their feathers and go on their merry way!!

But I love them anyway!!
