In NZ our Araucanas are quite different to those in the US and there are lots of people breeding them in lots of different colours, though lavender is the most common. They are popular for their pretty blue eggs. I've ordered some birchen eggs and am about to buy some partridge coloured hatching eggs. From those two colours I should be able to make brown reds, then from those, as long as the birchens give me a splash coloured baby at some point, I can make lemon blues (I love that colour). Also a splash bred back to a birchen would give me silver blues. I'm still getting it straight in my head, but I've got all the information written down. I'd love to try making green egg laying hens too.



That would be a very useful snake to have around if it would stick to eating snakes and not your precious birds.

That sounds like a fun project!

Do they have tufts in New Zealand?

Ours have tails, beards and top knots. No tufts.

Here are our two lavender girls who are probably 6 years old now.

They are very pretty!

It good that they do not have tufts. That way You will not have to worry about the lethal gene associated to tufts

That sounds like an interesting project. Hope you and the kids can do it!

Two things:
- DW would not get anywhere near that
- How does it not just melt into a puddle and burn?

You still can, you aren't dead yet! You and Ron start your hiking training and you can meet there next year :D

Now we can book in to have a fire installed.

Seems like you, DH and/or the kids could start a fire yourselves :D

I live in a small town so there is nothing local. The closest they would maybe do it is Minneapolis/St Paul? That’s 3 hours from here.

If he brought it home you could have it too. Which suggests you should not be going into work. Seems it would be worth the 2 hour 1 way trip.
