Any idea what breed she is?

[Rnk368]

I'm new to chickens, and got 4 on Sunday afternoon. I have figured out what 3 of them are, but I'm not sure what this girl is...can anyone help? I know the pics aren't great, but thought they might be good enough for someone who knows more than I do. She is a very light grayish color, and she has a beard. Her legs are black.

Thanks for the help!!!

Is she truly rumpless or just missing her tail feathers?

Looks like an araucana.

Not pure Araucana. A pure one would be tufted. This bird is bearded and has muffs.

Thank you so much! At least I have a more accurate estimation of what she is!

She is truly rumpless. No bare spots on her butt from missing feathers. The girl I got her from raised her from a chick and said she's always been like that.

Not all Araucana are tufted. Breeding tufted to tufted results in a % of chick mortality due to a lethal gene. Non tufted birds are valuable in the breeding program.

Does she have a tail bone? The last section that the tail feathers grow from?

I don't feel a tailbone that sticks out. When I run my hand down her back, she's smooth all the way down, so, nothing unusual sticking out.
