I hatched 3 aracaunas 16 days ago and whilst I was enjoying my first coffee of the day - heard the unmistakable sound of a teeny tiny baby crow from the kitchen. 😁
None of them have owned up to which one of them did it - so I’ll have to keep an eye on them.
I was always planning on keeping...
I’ve got RRMS and I’m hoping my foray into chicken keeping (and chicken math 😉) makes for a pleasant and rewarding hobby.

Hello!
I’m a newbie to BYC and I’ve been reading and reading and reading as I incubated my first batch of araucanas- and on Friday welcomed 3 babies (out of 5 possibles).

I can see this hobby...
