Auction is for this purebred blue Araucana cockerel. He's a gorgeous pure blue -- no trace of red or gold. It's hard to find a blue Araucana cockerel with colour so nice! He's got nice shape, a touch on the small side but may still grow and fill out a bit. Hatched late December so around 6 months old.

He's from winning show stock. Dad, grand-dad, two potential mums, a sister and a brother have all won classes at several shows and have two Best and three Reserve Best Araucanas amongst them.

UPDATE Dad has just won South Island Champion Araucana Male, plus Best Araucana (out of 29) at the Waimate show.

See my auction for the splash cockerel for more details on show records. This boy has white on his earlobes, which makes him not quite show-quality, but everything else about him is very nice.

Recently wormed and treated with long-lasting treatment for external parasites.

Dad and Granddad are both entirely non-aggressive towards people -- whether kids or adults -- and dogs, cats, and ponies.

Araucanas are a lively breed with lots of personality -- such a fun breed to have around! If you're not familiar with Araucanas, they are the blue-egg-laying breed. This boy will pass the blue-egg-laying gene to all chicks he produces, whether or not they're purebred Araucanas.

Raised by a broody hen and has always been free-range.

Pickup within three days please, or will hold past that for $3/week. Pickup at our place 10 min north of Rangiora or at The University of Canterbury on schooldays. Willing to work with Morley's or the Pet Bus
