For those who are non members, you may be wondering what the newsletter, the Blue Egg Clucker is all about? Why would you want to become a member just to see it?
The newsletter comes out four times a year and includes updates on poultry show reports, as well as informational articles which cover everything from general husbandry, genetics, breeding, and much more. Sometimes content is specific to the Araucana breed and other times it is just great poultry information. To give you a little insight, here is one of the articles from a past issue. Become a member and get access to all of the back issues of the newsletter today!
While not many of us breeders are focusing our attention on improving egg color, there are some that do …
New Egg Color Reference Card now available at in the merchandise section of the webpage.
The new card has been redesigned. The former card provided reference to all the potential colors that had been observed from Araucana flocks around the world. This new card has taken those digitally analyzed colors and gone a step further. Assessing the color makeup of each color a sample across the range has been taken and now provides preference to colors comprised of more blue as compared to red or green. The colors have been and will continue to be compared to actual shell colors (please message me if you would like to send in some shell samples).
From now until February 28 2018 any new or renewing membership will receive a free redesigned Egg Color Reference Card. If you have joined/renewed in January and would like a card, please message me.
Lastly, ACA members, the January 2018 newsletter is now available in the Member Library of the website.
note: the colors have been skewed in the sample image
My name is Jason Fishbein and I am the new club secretary. I have been doing some work on our club website and although I am still continuing the improvements, I wanted to invite you all to check out some of the new aspects.
I urge all of you to take a moment, visit the site, log into your account and check out your profile. There are some new fields available to you. I have done my best to update the information with what we have but we all know things change and I wanted to make you aware of the ability to update your information at any time. From your profile you will be able to update your address, email address as well as the information that gets put onto the members list and breeders list.
Speaking of members list, we now have our members list online. No more digging through emails and piecing together addendum after addendum. You can now see our full member list up to date from the member directory. Remember that Araucana handbook you got when you joined, can you find it? Well its right there for you in the member directory now!
While the member directory is ONLY available to other members, the information you updated in your profile also feeds into the Breeder Listing which is available to the public. No more delay when you get your website up, simply update your profile and there it is for people to find from the breeder listing. As a member, you have the choice to opt in or out of the breeder listing, simply update the field on your profile to add yourself or remove yourself.
Last but not least, the member library. As expected this is only open to members and includes ALL available past issues of the newsletter and other interesting articles and publications.
