Araucana Chicken

We bought a couple of pullets (young chickens) a few weeks ago to bolster our numbers.  One was an Araucana (white) and the other a Plymouth rock (gray stripes).

Caroline - the Araucana has just started laying eggs, and she likes to tell the whole world about it.  Her eggs are a blue/green colour which is quite different to anything else we get.

Here is a selection of our latest eggs. The 2 in the middle are the Araucana eggs. We have gone from zero to plenty over the last couple of months now that the weather has warmed up.

Lastly a picture of the Roosters Dan and Rusty. They are strutting around the orchard keeping the girls in order and the bugs away from the fruit trees.

  1. Great photos of your chooks. My grand daughter and her partner have just acquired some but I don't know what sort they are. I should visit her and find out.

  6. Great looking hens and roosters.
    I have a friend that has given me some of those blue/green eggs. Really cool. The yokes are golden too.
