Araucana thread anyone?

Thank you for the reply! You're right about chick number 5. I must have mixed up pictures.

How about a redo for chick 5 (partially tailed I think)

It's so cute I figured it had to be. I really like the colors coming in. Are any of the colors an indication of pullet or roo? Or do you strictly go by comb and behavior?

Do you guys use partially (dropped) tails in your breeding program?

I'm new to breeding/hatching so I can't speak for what's normal but I plan on rehoming tailed chicks.

I don't use drop tailed chickens for breeding either. They go in my laying flock. However, they do make lovely OE hens if you breed them to Marans roosters.

There may even be some people looking for them. In South Am the tailed tufted chickens are called Quechua de Aretes: Quechua with earrings. There is some interest from some on the Quechua thread in recreating them here since importing them is expensive.

Nice birds! I love the non standard colored Araucanas. Ed seems to have wonderful birds. Here are a couple of my non standard boys this year.

So cool I can not wait to see the eggs.
