Very welcome... looks like a Lavender too...

No, you have the British Araucana there... ours are rumpless with ear tufts and pea combs... they were created here in the States and I doubt they'll get imported to Oz since it's easier to break into Fort Knox than import any type of animal into Oz...

Our Ameraucanas are bearded and muffed...

My Lavender Ameraucana roo...


Lavender Ameraucana chicks...


This is one of my Araucana pullets, but she doesn't have the tufts...


While tufted is in the standard here, it's best we breed tufted to nontufted as 2 copies of tufted gene is leathal to the chick... the tufts grow inward instead of out and kill it before hatching...

Nice - I could really use some lavender genetics.

lol... I'd be a right sod if I got upset over a little spelling malfunction...

Dorian looks cool, but I love Sebastian (Sebastion?)... he's a Silver Partridge, yes?

Ok, I can't remember who asked about Araucana chicks and if tufts were visible right away... but here's tufts on a chick that just hatched... it's the light colored sprig just below/behind the eye...

Cute!!!! I would love to have a hen.

So I did it. I ordered 12+ bearded silkie eggs, mixed colors. I'm actually really happy the other lady blew me off except I'll be doing shipped eggs again. Florida to NY. The furthest I've done. Very happy with the quality of the birds. Show/breeder. The breeder said they will be marked with the color and date they were laid. Loved her page. The birds were beautiful but they cost more then pretty penny. Really looking forward to the last set of the year!!

Very pretty birds always cost more....

It looks like 3 out of 5 quite. 2 going into lockdown.

Well that sucks...but good luck with the 2!!!

I'm really bad at naming chicks. The only time I did it was when my first group ( about 20 hens) was 5 months old and hadn't laid a single egg. I was getting tired of waiting for my first. I named the Breakfast, Lunch, Snack, Dinner, Baked, Broiled, Stewy, BBQ and Soupy. Then I moved the BBQ grill in plain sight of the coop. 2 days later I had 3 eggs.

HAHAHAHA!!!!! That is awesome!

Well I guess that's better than 0.
Haha love it!

True that!

that's mean I know how to use my hammer

I just sent my claim with pictures. After all I am an American now.

Lol!!!! Good show them what they did wrong.

I only recently got my us citizenship. I used to be British.

Well congrats on becoming an American!!! LoL!!!!!

Oh, wow! I had to laugh at myself!!

I almost said 'No, that looks like a Polish or some kind of Silkie cross... then I realized you're in Oz...

That looks like an Aussie Araucana to me...

That's funny. I was wondering the same thing. Thanks for clarifying.

This is exactly what I said to myself! Didn't realize they were different there!

I got the end of Dorian and Sebastian's crowing contest. I think Dorian shut because he saw me. pity - Dorian crows better cause he doesn't have a volume limiter on at the minute.

Great video. Why does he do that little dance mice after he crows?

I guess I'm on that list now!

We call our dump the "local Mall". They made it illegal to dump pick after some bozo grabbed the rake off the hanger on the wall, used it to drag some stuff out of the metals bin, then didn't hang it back up. It fell over and scratched up someone's new truck. Now, we can't legally pick, though there is a recycle garage for household goods, and the employees politely look the other way when I fill up the truck with goodies. We also have an awesome compost area where folks dump their compostables, and one of the employees goes down and regularly turns the heaps with a front end loader. But, he's not allowed to fill up folks trucks since the rake incident.

It depends on the facility. This is a massive, regional landfill that takes anything imaginable and has about 150 tractor trailers come across the scale every day. The smaller, city owned facilities are the ones with the more customer friendly areas

A couple years ago I had short blond hair.

Don't do that again

Don't forget bantam! She's definitely a feisty bantam. I think I'm going to like this game and probably put way too much thought into it if I get the chance.

I know you will put too much thought into it, because your brain works exactly like mine. Too bad I post way more than you, and all the good ones will be gone

You are an Easter Egger. One of the more interesting birds in the yard, but you never know what you're going to get

OK... Just shaved my legs so I can wear shorts, though.

But I'm not just any paper lady

That was the perfect response to the d'uccle comparison. Shows you were thinking

How dare you correct my spelling

That's great!! You get all the fun of the hatch but then don't have to pay to feed him or take care of him! Nice deal!
I did, Lazy! Thank you. I'm actually much happier with this breeder and her birds are to die for!!

I like this game! What am I??

Brahma doesn't fit. You are a Buff Crested Polish. Pretty to look at, acts sweet, but you know there is something going on under that crest

It looks like 3 out of 5 quite. 2 going into lockdown.

Man, I hate to hear that. I will give my lockdown stats once I get some of this insanity out of my head
