6 week old aracuana pullet or so I was told just confirming

[maran man 32]

Yes ik I'm sorry this is just the second go round my first batch of 16 were pure cockerels so this time I went to a breeder thank you for your help

 

[maran man 32]

Ok the gentleman I bought her of him from raises nothing but pure breads so she has to be pure and ik he doesn't have any sex links rir or the more common chicks so she had to be something but just not one of those thank you for your help

I hope you get to the bottom of it. I don't know what she could be then but I hope you are happy with her regardless of what she turns out to be cause that is all that matters in the end.

Thank you me too and I am she's very pretty just wish I knew what she was thank you for you help

As far as I am aware American araucanas are rumples so she is defiantly not one of them.

x2. "She" has a very large rump for a rumpless chicken.

 

[maran man 32]

Any idea what she could be

 

[RoostersCrow HensDeliver!]

I don't think she's araucana or ameruacana, she doesn't look like she even has the right body type. No muff/beard and yellow legs? Yes she has a pea comb but so do some game birds and I think she's more along those lines. No offense but if that's a breeder bird, he/she is most definitely not breeding towards the Standard of Perfection.

Araucanas come rumples and rumped, the ones with rump are not showable, same with they can be without tufts as well, again just not showable. Its recommended to breed rumped birds with rumpless to keep the spines from turning to short and crippled(nerve damage) just as it is normal to have and breed non-tufted birds with tufted due to the lethal gene involved crossing tuftedXtufted.
Helps with keeping the poor fertility to a minimum and premature chick deaths too.

As for leg colour, its Ameraucanas that are supposed to have slate legs, Araucanas can have willow/yellow legs depending on colour variety.

That hen can very well be a non-showable representative of the breed, she certainly has the right shaped head to be an araucana(I always found that hawk shaped head and eye very distinct). She would make a great mate for a very short backed rumples tufted rooster since she has a nice fully intact rump and spine, fertility and hatchability out of that hen with such a roo should be great and and you should get some really nice chicks: tufted and rumpless, tufted and rumped and clean faced rumpless and clean faced and rumped.

Would the tail be that long on a 6 week old female?
