Are you baking more, or passing them on to friends?Natalie, the Chickenbloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07424213130274740719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534240.post-21727540394275520672010-10-25T15:16:25.488-07:002010-10-25T15:16:25.488-07:00I'm thinking that our araucana chick is develo...I'm thinking that our araucana chick is developing into a rooster. Annoying, because like you, I was looking forward to blue/green eggs.<br /><br />At least we bought our gold-laced Wyandotte and our barred Plymouth Rock from a place that sexes its chicks, so at least 2 out of our pretty pure breds are girls.<br /><br />We're getting 4 eggs a day from our Isa Browns. It's a lovely feeling to collect the eggs, isn't it?Frogdancerhttp://dancingwithfrogs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534240.post-66960630999436545522010-10-24T08:58:22.610-07:002010-10-24T08:58:22.610-07:00Thank you Yvette.

I have 2 of my girls, Araucanas, that are not laying, and one older gal that I'm not sure of. The two younger are still laying daily.<br /><br />There will come the day soon that 2-3 of the girls will be getting mighty chilled, but will warm me in the depth of winter. <br /><br />In the spring, I will be replacing the girls with pullets that are ready to lay. Then I and my neighbors can rejoice with free roaming eggs once again.<br /><br />Good luck finding homes for your boys.<br />Hugs<br />Yvettemtnchildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17457636624663214696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534240.post-60329450563930316102010-10-24T08:07:03.342-07:002010-10-24T08:07:03.342-07:00Dear Anonymous,
hello! Thank you for commenting. ...Dear Anonymous,<br />hello! Thank you for commenting. <br />Zoe (AKA Zoltar the traitor) was supposedly an Araucana hen, and I was looking forward to those pretty green-blue eggs. Our first round with home hens was about eight years ago, and each of our three chicas was a different breed (http://www.chickenblog.com/2002/09/lunas-eggs-are-delivered-with-boastful_12.html) I miss those chicas, and the Araucana, Gracie, was my favorite.<br />A tea party fairy breakfast would definitely be a huge hit with Maria.Natalie, the Chickenbloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07424213130274740719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3534240.post-14610122600898837852010-10-23T19:30:14.371-07:002010-10-23T19:30:14.371-07:00We have four different kinds of hens that lay diff...We have four different kinds of hens that lay different colored eggs so it's easy to keep track of who's laying and who is not. I reccomend arrucana's. Ours is little,pretty, and lays beautiful blue/green eggs :) Hope breakfast was good... You could make your daughter tiny sunny side up eggs and toast cut with cookie cutters. It'd be like a fairy tea party!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
