Araucana thread anyone?

Here's another picture of the darkest chick. Now that its dry, it looks dark brown and red chipmunk colored.
This little guy had a sideways air cell and I didn't know if it would be able to hatch. I think she (hopefully) is my favorite!

Purchasing this pullet.
Never had Araucanas before.
What does everyone think of her?

Just want to make sure she's a true araucana.

Looking at the Tufts, Shape of the head and color of the feet, I Vote Yes for true Araucana!

 

[kristin07035]

Thanks that's what i was looking for!
I knew she should be rumpless & have the ear tufts but wasn't sure what leg & body feather color she should have.

 

[WalleyWaller]

Yes, the rumpless is US standard, although there are Araucanas that have tails and no tufts. They are used mostly for breeding purposes. But. it is safe to say that you have a True Araucana!

I have one white and one black. Black one is rumpless. They are about 3.5 months old. Can't wait for my first eggs!
