The closest thing that I've found is "Exchequer"

I want to incubate a small batch of Araucana eggs. Does anyone have any Araucana specific advice on doing that? I'm asking because the hatch rate seems to be pretty low with Araucana.

Can anyone tell me what this color pattern is called?

Wont they still be in the environment ready to re-infect your chickens once you're done with the treatments?

I don't want to keep chickens in anything less than about 33sqft per bird of run space and 10 + 10/per chicken of coop sq footage. This would still include an hour or two of free run time per day, when possible. Without free run time, they would need even more run space. "Cooped up" chickens do...

I also have a chick that is limping. She (hopefully) is about 14 days old now and I noticed her limping about 3 or 4 days ago. She is the lighter one on the right

My broody and I raised a group of 5 chicks and they got scrabled eggs on day2 - the same day they started eating thier starter feed. The first thing they ever ate was nappa cabage. They also started eating yogurt on the second week. They always voluntarily ate mostly starter feed.

Yes, this done all the time. You can use "injectable" ivermectine that is not water soluble in the water. It will separate over time so you may want to shake up the waterer if you can. You use it in the water for a couple days, discard it afterwards, then do it again in two weeks

I've used two brands of Ivermectine and both worked fine for me. Agri-mectine and Noromectine

Here is my Araucana.

My three young Ayam Cemani boys in Lawrenceville, Ga need a new home. I will definitely not have room for these three plus the two other roosters that I'm going to keep. I do not want to "cull" them. But that would be better than pecking fights between them or "over worked" hens. I don't know...

We are pretty much back to *real* normal down here in Georgia - except that some folks still choose to wear the mask (although, I don't know why). Back in 2020, it was great for me. I've never really needed to commute to do what I do anyway. Saved money, spent more time with the dog, took care...

I got my Ayam Cemani from a fellow on the east side of Lawreneville. I just wanted some eggs that my broody hen could raise. I like the chicks; they are very healthy. But I cant take good care of three roosters. My plan was to have 5-10 Araucana hens, 1-2 Araucana roosters, and 3 or 4 Black...

Are you still interested? I just posted about my Ayam Cemani. They are about 10 weeks old and I think that I have 3 roosters.

Hi, This is Chris Abney. I live in Lawrenceville Georgia. I've got a couple of older mixed hens, plus 5 Ayam Cermani, and 6 Araucana chickens. (all hatched late Nov 2022) I'm looking for a few Araucana hens go with my flock for breading. I purchased the Araucana from The Pasture Farms, in...
