Hey brain trust! Been a while, over a year for sure… happy to be back.. just pulled out of a horrible homeless stint and are finally on our feet enough to add chooks back to the mix now that we’ve got the pup n quail n garden sorted. I picked up a mixed flock the other night and I didn’t notice...

So, we’re moving onto my partners Mums property. I’ve ordered a heavy duty dog run for a temporary fix and I’ve got a small coop already that will suffice. Here’s my problem: we’ll be out on the far side of the property next to an old war veteran who is literally bonkers.He shoots his gun all...

Hey guys, been a while.. busy with the baby.. in my time away all my ‘Cana gals started laying. (Got rid of the lavenders for breeding purposes.. and thought I lost this boy and our Muscovy duck to a predator, but he came strutting out of the bush today) Here’s my question/dilemma: Sax, my Roo...

Hey guys, so as you may know we recently got a pair of BCM. They’re a little over 6 months old and my pullet just started laying last week.. it’s been going spEGGtacular until today.. this morning Kip layed an egg and we heard her and Haans normal notification calls so I said I’ll go out in a...

I’m developing a pattern.. is this an EGGdiction!? We just saw some jumbo Japanese quail for sale locally.. I looked up benefits as i know the eggs will be quite small and found out not only are they more healthy but the grow really fast and IF you’re looking for meat birds.. apparently the...

So, let me start by saying in Australia.. it tends to be harder to get pure bred chickens that meet the SOP especially where we’re located.. We have our 7 Araucana and it’s always been the plan to find some Marans and bring in deep brown eggs and eventually olive eggers. I was looking on Gumtree...

So, even though we’ve only had the flock a few weeks, I try to spend as much time on here (or as much as Arora deems sane ) as possible. I love to learn as much as I can about my new flock and you all, my extended chook family help me do that.. so thank you so much. I spend a lot of time looking...

So.. I’ve been scouring and still can’t find a clear answer.. I’ve raised chooks before but this will be our first attempt at breeding and I want to get it right.. Why is it that you don’t want to breed blue to lavender? Does it weaken genes? Is it just because of the colour they produce (if...

So, we got our flock of seven ameraucanas two weeks ago(planned on six but got one free cuz she was being picked on too badly n would’ve been culled). We THOUGHT this was our only cockerel because of its pointy overcomb and neck feathers.. but as time went on, our other blue started developing...

Hey all! This will be my first real post. I’m a little confused as to what to be considered blue or blue splash in the Ameraucana breed. As I mentioned in my introduction post we were sold as Pure Araucanas by a reputable breeder but seeing as they’re not rumpless and have little beards coming...

Hey all, my name is Christopher Sanchez. I’m an American living in QLD Australia with my Misses (our baby girl in her tummy), red cattle dog, and our new Ameraucana flock (sold as Auracanas but the rumpless aren’t available here so I can only assume that due to strict import laws this is as...
