This is the mom. She lays blue and looks pure. The daughter...She’s a cross, but the mom is pure.

Well, if you have a mixed color Rock, you wouldn’t still be calling it a Rock.

Many araucanas are bred true to color, but the ones that aren’t are still called araucanas. If you don’t believe me, you may want to skim through this thread: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/araucana-thread-anyone.288425/.
I’m not saying that this pullet is purebred, I’m just saying that breeding mixed color araucanas is a common practice.

It seems we are mostly agreed, so let’s leave it at that.
