Rumpless is dominant, so Araucana could be pretty far back in lineage as long as rumpless mutts were used for the continuation of the breeding project.

 

Rumpless bearded EEs are a project for some backyard breeders as Araucana are very difficult to breed.

The remaining 6 of my original 7 barred rocks are 3yrs old and happily divided between a friend and my mom.
Laying: 2 Partridge Rocks, 1 Columbian Wyandotte and 2 Black Australorps. 14 weeks: 3 bantam Araucana.
Cowed to chicken math and sharing my bedroom with 8 BBS Ameraucana mixes.

Wait, they're laying? I would have bet money based on the pics in the original post that those were ~4ish month old EE cockerels. lol

Sorry, no.

 

Mottled Java's look nothing like that.  These are mottled Java's at 10 weeks:

Having an Icelandic in the coop is like having a 2 year old in the house - they are into everything and don't follow the rules.

I have zero chicken willpower.

This IS an interesting thread.  

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the UK can't  Araucanas have tails and also crests??  -- And if a bird is a breed...i.e. Araucana, isn't it interesting that the characteristics can be so different across the pond??  -- 

 

Also, isn't a slate or blue leg a requirement for an Ameraucana?  soooo confusing, IMO.

I think they are the Barred plymouth rocks because their pattern on the feathers looks like a zebra.
