Angelic Araucanas

The last of the birds to leave the homestead, went off to their new home today ❤️ I tried to craft the most comfortable box for the 6 hour journey to their new home.

I am excited to send these birds out, as this long time breeder has been trying to get some of our birds for many years. I'm so glad we could make it happen this year! ☺️

** HE'S OFF TO HIS NEW HOME ☺️ **

Hi everyone! We have this handsome guy available! He is fully rumpless, clean faced (no tufts), purebred Araucana. He is blue, from my BBS line. I was thinking about keeping him, but he has some red color leakage on his wings and hackle, so that is a deal breaker for me. Hatched on May 8th. He carries beautiful blue egg genes. 🩵

He is available for 💲1️⃣5️⃣ . Pick up in Gossen.

** CALLING ALL CANADIAN ARAUCANA OWNERS! **

I am working on pulling together info to help try to get the Araucana breed listed on the Heritage Livestock Canada poultry list. In order to do so, I will need to get some information on the number of Araucanas here in Canada, as well as how long you have had the breed. If you own any purebred Araucana chickens (Bantam or Large fowl), please reach out to me with that info if you can! (You can message me at Angelic Araucanas ).

The Livestock Conservancy in the US has recently added them to their list as “Critical”, and i’d like to help get them added to our list here in Canada as well.

Having Araucanas listed on the Heritage Livestock Canada poultry list, will help to raise awareness about this amazing breed, and hopefully help to gain interest, to further increase their numbers here.

** All information will stay confidential, and only numbers, not names, will be given. **

If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out. Thank you!

Alright guys... I need you all to talk me out of doing something crazy ... Though I feel like you guys may just be enablers 🤣🤣

I went to collect eggs today, and this egg literally fell out of the hen, into my hand (all warm and still wet 😆). It is from one of the pure black hens that I didn't get to hatch from this year. She is tufted, and fully rumpless. She is with the rooster I didn't get to hatch from this year as well. He has the most beautiful, nicely shaded blue, and is fully rumpless as well. It has the potential to hatch out the most beautiful offspring of the year... And I currently have a broody hen... Do you see where I am going with this 🤣😅

I am REALLY considering putting it under that broody hen lol. It is only one egg though. I don't really want just one chick without a buddy... I am not home tomorrow, but I just may stalk the nest boxes Thursday and Friday when I am home, so see if I can get another. If I do .. I may just give them to my broody hen and see what happens 😬 I feel like I need to be talked out of this, as it is super late in the season... Though, the hen will raise it and do all the work sooooo...... 🤣🤣

These 3 are officially this year's "keepers" from the hatching season! While it was a great year for tufts, the rooster I used had a little tail feather hiding, and produced primarily offspring with a few tail feathers. That being said, each of these birds has one or 2 tail feathers, and will need to be paired with fully rumpless mates next season so I can try to work that out. The years I took off, really set my flock back, So I imagine it will take a few years to help get them back on track. Here's the reasoning as to why I have decided to keep these 3:

Tufted splash hen - This one is pretty well self explanatory... just look at those tufts!! 😍 I didn't really want a splash hen, let alone one with 2 tiny tail feathers, but those beautiful tufts will help me to get the nice tufts that I need back into my flock. While my flock is mainly tufted, most have tiny tufts, so she should help to improve that.

Clean faced Blue hen - I almost didn't keep this one, as the lack of tufts, and her one tiny tail feather are the opposite of what I want in my flock. HOWEVER.. her color is just stunning! Most of my hens are more of a paler, washed out blue, where she has that dark, vibrant blue, with beautiful dark shading, which gets me closer to the blue I am looking for in my flock. Paired with the black cockerel I am keeping, her offspring will be stunning 😍

Tufted black cockerel - He has beautiful tufts, and beautiful leakage free black coloring. He has a few small tail feathers, but I really need a black cockerel again. My flock is turning primarily blue and splash, which is NOT what I want. As much as I loved Chonk (our old splash rooster), using him last year (because he was all I had after taking a few years off, then losing my main black rooster), really set my flock back color wise. This guy, with his tufts, and beautiful black color, will help me to get my tufts and color back on track next season. Once I get my coloring and tufting back on track next season, the following year will be to work on the rumplessness again, as that is the easier trait to get back on track.

I am hoping that over the next 2 years, my flock will be back on track, and better than ever! 🩵 While I am working on the flock, I will not have hatching eggs available. (With the exception of the 2 customers I need to send replacements to in the spring).

I hope that one day we can get Araucanas on Heritage Livestock Canada conservation list as well, to help raise awareness and gain more interest here in Canada ❤️

Q: Which heritage breed lays naturally blue eggs?

A: The Araucana chicken is known for laying naturally blue eggs. Unlike white or brown eggs, the blue color extends all the way through the shell. Listed as Critical on the Conservation Priority List, this unique heritage breed still needs conservation support.

I'm sure you are all getting sick of photos of this little lady.... Sorry.... Not sorry 🤣 She just keeps getting more and more beautiful 🥰

Who has been following us long enough to remember Lanny? For those who don't know who Lanny is, he was one of our first Araucana roosters. He was gorgeous, and had the biggest tufts of any Araucana we have ever had... Until now! Looking back at Lanny's baby photos, and photos of when he was 2 months old (same age as our little hen this year), it appears that this year's hen's tufts are bigger!! I can wait to watch her grow out 🥰 I have also included some photos of Lanny when he was more mature, just to give an idea of what I am expecting... But possibly even bigger 😍

** SOLD **
This handsome little guy is looking for a new home! He can't stay here, as he has 3 strikes against him (clean faced, one tail feather, and red color leakage), but he is an absolute sweetheart (The sweetest bird hatched all year!), so I can't bear to cull him. He would make a lovely addition to a pet flock, or someone looking to start a colored egger project. He is purebred Araucana, and carries beautiful blue egg genes 💙 He is Splash colored (with a bit of red leakage). Hatched May 8th.

Asking 💲1️⃣0️⃣ for him.

Available for pick up in Gossen, or possible delivery in the Terrace area.
