Araucanas don't have beards, they have ear tufts. Some are born without tufts, so entirely possible to get one without.

Any updates on this project? I'm really curious, as I'm starting an attempt to make a bantam meat cross. I already process my spare serama and bantam turken roos and they make a nice little pot of soup for myself and my partner, but it would be cool to have something that's a bit more functional...

Thanks! I went ahead and ordered hatching eggs for white laced bantam cornish. The breeder says they use their flock for meat and that they have friendly temperaments, so that's encouraging. They're under my good broody seramas now and developing, although you never know what kind of hatch...

I have limited space to work with, but I've built up a good bantam layer flock of (pet quality) seramas and bantam turkens. I've processed the cockerels when they got too numerous or too loud and had good results. A couple of four month old cockerels makes a nice big pot of soup for myself and...

Any updates on this breed getting to the US? I'm so interested in them, but there's so little information available, especially in english.

Those both appear to be pullets. By six weeks, even a sneaky cockerel should be showing much more orange and development in the comb. Those are also not araucanas. They're not even ameraucanas. Araucanas have no tails, no crest, and they have ear tufts. Those are, as far as I can tell, some...

I know this post is old, but just in case anyone looks it up for info: this is not a recessive gene. It's a dominant double-lethal gene. Recessive genes don't express at all with only one copy. Dominant genes do.

Can I ask how this turned out? Seems like a really interesting case and I'd love to know.

If it helps, she's the spitting image of my old polish hen who used to lay eggs and crow. That crest says hen to me. I'd just wait and see.

Aww, that's such a shame! Same problem here. No roosters allowed, or we'd just keep him.

That's so disappointing, but thank you! I'm giving him another week to be really sure, but have a potential person lined up to take him. He's got such a great little personality, which I know is not uncommon for baby roosters, but it still sucks.

I'm really hoping to be wrong because he's a sweetheart, but he looks awfully rooish so far. Kinda just hoping to get a better sense of if there's hope in waiting or I should prepare to find him a new home. I don't have much experience with this breed. Thanks!

My husband and I got two laying black Andalusians and a cochin mix earlier this year, and recently decided to expand. I wanted something more unusual, so I jumped on a couple of two month old turken bantams when somebody decided they couldn't keep them with their full size flock. The little...
