Hi All,

Does anyone keep Blue Araucanas, been looking at getting some after Xmas but can't find any good pics of them, most of the pics seem to be lavenders?

If anyone has any good pics of the blues they could post that would be great.

What are these birds like in a mixed flock?

Are they good layers?

I've never seen the blue ones, I have lavender aruacanas. They do ok in a mixed flock but they are all from the same hatch. When mine get excited they sometimes walk into things as they can't see where they are going. I have one that would only walk in a clockwise circle until I trimmed her head feathers. Mine approximately lay every other day.
Chicken nutter extraordinaire.
