Our Araucana hatch was successful. Four beautiful babies with so much range! Tuxedo, chocolate, multi-colored, and white. The white one had a little trouble getting out of his (I’m assuming - no clue on s*x yet!) shell. So we stepped in and delivered him. When we removed the membrane from his face mine was the first he saw, so of course now we are his mommas. He screams and cries if we are not holding him. Hence his name, Crybaby. He is so sweet, and clings to us with so much trust and love. He can’t be in with his siblings, as they ping to the fact he is not as healthy as them. He does have a deformity of one leg and is tiny compared to the rest so this little one definitely needs extra love and attention. He’s reminiscent of Fallow with his attitude and closeness. Hopefully he has a full life ahead of him ❤️ He won’t be used for our breeding program due to the deformity, but he will surely be a wonderful one to have living on the farm.
