Any help guessing breed and sex? part 2

They are not that rare here, they have them at the poultry auction all the time, place is swimming with Araucana :)
Where is 'here'??

I also have to mention that she doesn't have tail bone so will she grow in tail feathers? I don't think so. She sported little ear tufts one month ago, the time i bought her though she doesn't have them now.

She won't. Well, usually won't. They can be partially tailed, but I don't think she will be.
 
It seems that you have a pretty common group here, imo i see buff orps, rir, maybe a wyndott or 2 a polish or may be a Cream crested legbar, a barred rock or plymoth barred. But, I am surely not the breed specialist here haha.
 
Got them from a farm that had Araucanas but as I wrote in a previous reply I keep my doubts. But definitely i didnt got her accidentally but as an Araucana. I have to also mention that I live in Greece so probably there is a difference in the prize etc.
Which feathers will grow in soon, btw?
Could very well be an Araucana, but if the farm you got her from doesn’t select for color or certain traits besides rumplessness and blue eggs it would be the same as having an Easter Egger.

She has a pea comb and green legs. Also ear tufts which she lost though..i think they will grow back..Aren't these the traits that set Araucanas apart?

Right... but what he's saying is that since she's not a standard color, she may have been in a pen with different colors of araucana. If you don't keep the colors separate, you create mixed araucana... still araucana, but mixed w/in the breed colors.
 
I see but i was mostly interested to know if she is an Araucana..If its mixed its still an Araucana, not an EE. I'm not intended to take her to any contests, after all!

If she is a mix of say a Blue Araucana and a Black Breasted Red Araucana then she is still an Araucana. If she was the result of say an Araucana and a Leghorn that would make her an Easter Egger.
