This is our main rooster for our bantam Araucana flock. Cappy is a rumpless/tailless, nontufted rooster.
We decided on a non-tufted rooster because of the "death gene". Araucanas are prone to high mortality rate if tufted birds are bred together.. With a NONTUFTED rooster, hatching is much more...

Good luck with your young cock.. I have to agree, he definitely needs blue hen and black hens.. a splash could be interesting if you can find one!

I bit the bullet and recently added birds that I know come from top...

Wow, Cynthia. I love your light blue pencilled hen.. she is pretty.. but.. here is a gorgeous little pullet that I recently gave away.. I didnt think she would amount to much.. oops!!!
Dear Llama chick...
