6 month Araucana roo colouration?

[Nats Chickens]

It appears the American Araucana and British Araucana standard are very different. I went to the British Araucana page and they are a tailed breed similar to our Ameraucana but British have small crest and much longer back.
@Nats Chickens i didn’t see an approved variety that matches yours. Maybe contact the breeder and ask them.

I don't think she really breeds for colour with her araucanas, but I am not sure. Iknow she shows Orpingtons, and a few others.

Oh! I must have missed that! Sorry. Do you know why there is such a difference in standard?

Nup. I do know the non-tailed variety isn't recognised over here (or so i am told) but i think you can still show them?

If she doesn’t separate her varieties, that makes since to why he doesn’t match any of the varieties Because he is mixed genetics for color.

He hates me. I don't know why lol. His sister, Chilli-Chuck, was raised with the same care and attention and will not leave you alone until you have patted her, picked her up, scratched her chin, etc. And loves being carried? None of the others are like this. But Ash hates me and he had the exact same care and has NEVER been mistreated. Very hard for me to catch him *sigh* But he's actually pretty good with photos. Very 'strutty' lol.

So he's a mutation then? His sister is white with a spot of lavender leakage.

The closest I can find on the internet is this Belgian d'anver.

I would have guessed blue Wheaton if he'd had any kind of blue undertone to him. Perhaps he is and there are other dilution factors or white factor. Or he could be a buff with some kind of dilution. He does look like he's darkened as he's aged.

There, that's a blue wheaton

I don’t know that you would call them a mutation but when poultry color genetic Are mixed together you get a mixed bag of genetics that don’t match any standard variety that won’t breed true until you breed out the undesirable genetics taking many generations to get back to pure variety.
