How Quickly Does Albendazole Work?

Hi All

 

As I am very new to this can anyone confirm from the images the sex.. I think we have two girls and may be two boys.. The Blacks maybe boys.. a great shame as we could never keep them yer one of them is just so friendly.

 

They are Arauncana.

 

Thanks and fingers crossed..

They are gorgeous - I nearly had 5 araucana chicks a few months ago but reined myself in

 

How old are they? Not reallys sure about the black ones - lovely tail feathers. Have they started crowing - I think they start in ernest at 20 weeks or so. Someone else will have more detailed knowledge. Just wanted to say they are all gorgeous - I am so Maybe next year

Thanks they are about 18 weeks old and they are not making much noise yet. The odd startled cluck on the find of a new plant in the garden and when one gets left on its own as the others sneek away.

 

I prity sure that the two lavenders are girls and the peking partrage is a girl but the two black have me stumped. I think they are males and that will be a shame as one will sit in the hand for a while and make little fuss, it’s a bit bold (male?) and the other I am not sure of. They have more obvious combs but in this breed it does not mean much. I am compairing them between the lavenders and black and the black just have more pointes to say the are males…

 

So I look for any answers to if they are males if so the breeder will have them back as our grumpy old man next door will kick off if we have a male announcing his presence all day.. Shame because they look like they will be fine looking birds..

Watching this post with interest, as I am hatching laveder araucanas - due next Tuesday / Wednesday.

I'm not sure if you can only truly see the combs on males. I think the females have them hidden under their hairdo's?

Maybe ask on the Araucana club forum.

Araucanas are not my thing but I definitely agree with you - the blacks look like boys and the lavs - girls.

 

You can often tell by their behaviour too, Sonic our pekin boy has been squaring up to the dog since he was about 5 weeks old!

Here is a Lavender Araucana cockerel for comparison.

I'm not sure either, a guess as others have said would be that the blacks are boys. But they are absolutely gorgeous!

that first image looks like a boy to me (tho I have to say that is purely subjective.) lovely birds tho, and the pic that egluntine posted is just STUNNING!!

(rushes off to add Araucanas to wish list immediately)
