The shells of the araucana breeds are lovely. Among our mixed flock we have four araucana hens of different variety and their eggs are all the same pale blue-green!
It’s amazing to me how temperament varies from breed to breed: the araucana is wary and shy, the first to see and hide from the hawk. Weeks ago, there were several hawks overhead, shrieking like a scene from Lord of the Rings (I suspect a nest had fledged since they were so vocal, accompanied by dramatic dives and swoops all around). Anyway, our chickens were terrified. Four hens were tucked beneath the one rooster! In spite of his fear, he stood ready and willing to do battle if necessary. I hung around until the hawks’ flying lessons ended.
About farm-fresh eggs: they don’t hard-boil like store-bought eggs. Using the same method yields very soft whites which basically fall apart when peeled. Just last year I found the best solution which has worked each and every time. Never tried it for store bought eggs, but for fresh, this is the way to go!
