I apologize for the photos... I think the older 2 are cockerels, but I'm not sure. These are all produced by a Crele roo x BBR hens.

For sale, $25 a dozen, pick up only - I don't have time to ship right now... trying to help fund my next purchase (Cuckoos) lol.... My birds came directly from the most well known breeder associated with the name "Araucana" lol. (The roo pic is credited to Ann Charles) I'm located west of...

I'm about to pull my hair out .... just trying to understand this rooster's genetic makeup so I can utilize him in a breeding pen... I just noticed these today and I waited for him to go to roost so I could get a better look. He has a partial tail, and a couple or 3 of the tail feathers have a...

Take your best shot! I can't tell y'all how old they are for certain, before they were shipped, I thought I was getting 6 and 8 week olds. I got them day before Thanksgiving... Thanks for looking! 1. Splash or Paint chick 2. Blue chick 3. Brown Red (?) chick 4. Blue Red...

The day before Thanksgiving, I got 6 chicks in the mail. These kids were brooding together before they got here - they are not fully feathered, yet....They seemed to be getting along just fine, until the last day or so. I'm not sure, but I think the aggressor might be a cockerel. The victim is...

Hi there, I'm making a Christmas list and I'm reviewing some genetics books..... I have the SOP on the list and the Brian Reeder books too, but does anybody have this one? The contact name, on her website, for U.S.. customers is Jerry Schexnayer. Is he on BYC, by any chance? I'm not...

Nice little guy, was supposed to be a CCL pullet.... he came from an NPIP breeder. I'll get more pics if you'd like.... If you're interested in a pair, I could pair him with one of the SS pullets in the picture for a small fee or trade for a bale of nice grass hay ....... If you want to eat...

Ok, in August I bought 2 "Cream Legbar pullets" from an NPIP breeder, here locally. This is what I really got: - I thought they were "auto-sexing" at hatch, lol....

Day 20 and not a single pip yet...... The wet egg carton helped boost the humidity up to 70-75%, and it might help block any chicks from getting in the cake pan (should've left that raised floor in there!) before I snatch them off to the brooder. I found a nice, 2 1/2 minute video of...

Ok, lockdown officially started at 1am today. Yesterday evening I started cramming containers of water in the bator. I literally have no floor space left for another water well, the eggs are crammed up together and I can't get my humidity much above 60%. Any ideas on what I can do to get it a...

What day, prior to hatch, do chicks start peeping? What day do they start rocking and rolling? If eggs roll over after pipping, do you turn them back to pip side up? Sunday is day 18, lockdown... I'm nervous that I won't have many hatch and excited too

I have 41 shipped Araucana eggs in my bator. Starting day 7 and there's no bad odor....However, the few I dared candle already, only 2 look alive. I read another (older) post that recommended for beginners, like myself, it's easier to make sense of things if you wait until day 10 to do your...

Ok professional incubators ;) When it comes to shipped eggs, what kind of hatch rate is reasonable or to be expected? Do you use a commercial bator or home made?

I've read a lot of the posts under incubating.... And, I read the posts regarding shipped eggs - uggh! I'm trying to do everything possible to have, or increase the hatch rate on my precious babies I even carved out holes in the bottom of the carton/holders for more oxygen The scenario...

Hey Y'all, I would like to purchase some Araucana hatching eggs from a breeder, but I don't really need an incubator (wrap your head around that, LOL!), long term, that is..... I'd be willing to swap a percentage of hatched chicks, if you're interested, or I can pay you a small cash fee for...

I have a trio of LF Cochins: a tangerine / blue cockerel, lemon / blue pullet, and buff pullet - 6 months old. Would like to rehome them. I can bring them to Chehalis show on the November 17th. Also a SF cockerel, 6 months old. Was going to be my breeding roo, but became aggressive. Will make...

I have some boys needing new homes. Buddy is a salmon fav/lav orp cross, 5 months old. Shy towards people, a little aggressive toward my other boys. Big and gorgeous, 5 toes and feathered legs, no muff/beard. Elvis - iridescent black roo with silver lace in hackles. May carry OE genes. Salmon...

I don't know much about Cochins (I've been concentrating on SF), but I got this wonderful, beautiful looking pair and I'd like some input from you guys on their qualities and short-comings..... You can be honest, I don't offend easily. They are about 14 weeks old. I was told they came from a...

In late May my 2 FM hens went broody, unexpectedly, of course. I run two trios together, one trio of FMs (Blue Copper roo w/ Black Copper and Wheaten hens, one trio of Blue Wheaten Ameracaunas. I got 7 little fuzz balls zipping around 2 vicious broodies and me with a camera ;) Yes, I got pecked...

I can't find anything like it. I'd like to know more. I just bought them last month. The lady I got them from said her neighbor hatched them and then had to leave suddenly.... so she took them.
