6 araucuna eggs

Hehehe - whats it like to be loved Snadger!

Hilly he is very very beautiful, when these coloured egg layers that you are NOT getting DO NOT arrive at your house tomorrow remember that we want piccies

[Snadger]

Oh I have a black Araucana cross and he is BEAUTIFUL - not like a crow at all. I don't show birds and couldn't show him anyway as he is not pure bred, but he is definitely worthy of it. We call him Mojo! He is becoming a pet!

You can't tell me this DOESN'T look like a crow....surely!

One of my lottie neighbours has a batch of Shamo chicks - only a mother could love them! They are truly ugly!
And yes it does look like a crow! Maybe it'll improve with age? I quite liked the Black and red Araucanas though

I hatched some Cream Crested legbars back in May as I wanted to start coloured egg boxes, probably won't go into lay until nest year but I can't wait. They aren't the most attractive birds but I have grown to love them and there flighty little ways and there funky little hair styles.
Until now I have always had large fowl and must admit these are much smaller than my other birds which make them alot faster if they have to be caught.

Er yes I guess he does look like a crow Snadge! My boy looks nothing like that but he is only a cross - he came out of an Araucana egg but no-one knows who the father was as there were several to choose from. I'll have to try and get a pic on here.

So do I, but seriously Di, do you REALLY want chicks hatching on Christmas Day?????

The chicks hatching on Christmas day I'd love......the fact it's my turn to do New Years is what possibly puts me off.....not sure how much cinnamon & orange I'd need to burn to disguise the aroma of chook poo in the living room!

Chicken Slave...I think our CL's are absolutely stunning!

Snadge...if you think that black Aracauna looks like a crow,you need to see our Norfolk Greys!...the Boy is stunning,but the girlies definately missed out on the pretty gene!

Well there seems to be a lot of Snadger's about, might even hit the boy's name charts for 2010 Yep Snadge you got my vote, a crow it is....

[walldanzig]

the Lavender aracauna don't look too impressive either but hey blue orgreen eggs i'm in

[RedThorn]

walldanzig -fair enough! lol cannot argue about that

Snadger - yup a crow but a crow that lays blue or green eggs

[davefromthechipie]

They don't all look like crows ( sorry snadgers hen :P ) but from both mine and snadgers pics none are purebred even though eggs sold as such, heres my black araucanas and Id have to say walldanzig is wrong lav aracanas are impressive imo
