Araucana's do not have a tail. And this chick looks like my EE.

i dont think a feedstore wuld ever have rumpless araucanas

 

they are a specialist breed that breeders have hatcheries and feedstores usually have EEs

 

which yours looks to be

5 Red Star, 1 Speckledy, 3 Col Blacktails, 3 White Star [Leghorn]  1 Amber Star - All Hybrid Pullets, 1 French Copper Marans - Roo, 2 Lavender Araucanas - Roos, 3 Cream Legbars - 2 Pullets & 1 Roo

Feed stores only label chicks what the hatchery tells them to. Araucanas are super rare and NO hatchery sells them, but they insist on disseminating misinformation.

 

You have a pretty Easter Egger that looks to be a pullet at this point.
