However, from what I've been reading online, chicks that you get from hatcheries are seldom true-blue Araucanas. They more than likely are Easter Eggers- which lay colored eggs, but genetically are mutts- crossed with Araucanas or Ameraucanas. I don't care at this point- they're SO cute!!
These are my other recent aquisitions:
Bella and Mimi
Mimi taking a dirt bath- look how dirty her feathers are!

Oh my cuteness! I think that is so cool you are keeping farm chicks!
Lee,
They are soooooo cute! You know you have to name one chick after me. Ha-ha!
Enjoy watching them grow.

Lee, your new chicks are adorable...the boys look like they think the chicks are pretty amazing too!!!
Hi Lee!

Have a wonderful week!

They are CUTE! How much fun!!!
I love little chicks! I tried to convince my mom to get a chicken coop this year. (didn't work, but maybe next year I can bug her again!). xo
Oh, I'm so jealous. I grew up with chickens and didn't appreciate them. But the eggs were sure nice. The new babies are darling, what ever their parentage are/is (?) and the dust bath beauty looks so happy. Congratulations. The photos of the boys holding them is precious. With that rooster and a hen you are likely to have her want to sit on a cache of eggs.
They are so darn cute and who care if they are mutts or not!! The boys won't care either!!
Oh' I could just cry when I see these. They are so so precious. My dad use to get me baby chicks (which never lived) when I was a little girl and I just couldn't keep my hands off of them. Now I'm wanting one really bad. Especially one that lays such pretty eggs.
xxoo's...Tracy :)
