Yeah!! I just found some at my TSC that were labeled at Aracaunas also!! I'm gonna call them today and try to find out where they got them from to see if they are real Aracaunas... They are SO tiny and they already have little feathers!! I don't remember my other ones being that small when I got them but then maybe they were older.
Just curious if anyone knows where TSC gets their chicks from. When I gave in and got some chicks for my broody hen, I just zipped to TSC and pick up some "aracana's". However I've read in several places that REAL aracana's are really only available from breeders (because they aren't that common?) and what most hatcheries are selling are really some kind of cross (americana, easter egger, etc). So I'm kind of curious what my chicks will look like and if anyone knows what hatchery they use, I may be able to go to the hatchery site and see what their "aracana's" look like. The guy said that the chicks were "four days old", however, they have wingtip feathers (and even a few tail feathers) which I thought wasn't until at least a week or two right???
They are cute thought...they all have these fluffy ear tuft/beard things going on.
Anyone buy Aracana's from TSC last year? Do you have any details on how they turned out? Color of eggs? Size? Rumpless?
