Chicken Breed Focus - Colloncas

[junebuggena]

The Collonca is supposed to be a single combed breed. Pea comb would indicate a rumpless untufted Araucana.

I wish I knew of a place but I don't.

Here's my rooster "Rumpus". I was told he was a Collonca. But after reading about several breeds

, I believe he is a Arucana.

What a perfect name. I will try to get some pictures of mine up tonight. I am not sure how to do it. Some are on my iPad and some on my iPhone.

One difference between araucanas and colloncas is egg color. In the USA araucanas are supposed to lay blue eggs.

Colloncas lay many different colors.

Are they broody like the silkies

Yes, she's an Auracana, bought her as such. She lays a beautiful blue egg. It's interesting to see pics of the foundation breed.

That was my thought also.

I want so badly to one day be able to create my own line of aracauna from the parent varieties. I'm so glad to see this breed profiled.
