Araucana people...What combo to choose??

[BUG126]

We are going to buy a breeding pair of Araucanas this weekend! (shhh....hubby doesn't know) The lady has asked me these questions..."Would your daughter prefer a tailed or rumpless rooster? A tailed or rumpless hen? (The most fertile combination is a tailed rooster paired with a rumpless hen, or rumpless rooster paired with a tailed hen -- either combination will produce about 1/2 tailed and 1/2 rumpless offspring). Does she want them to carry the gene for ear-tufts?" AHHH!! I dont know! What are everyone's opinions. Here is her website http://www.araucanasonline.com/

Hi there,

Small world, eh?

Sorry to boggle you, LOL. If you are taking 4 roosters, I'll try to get you some of everything. If you plan to breed them I'd be happy to give breeding advice! If you'd like I can cage them all together, and we can talk about it and I can help you choose which ones when you arrive.

When would you like to pick them up? I just sent you an email before I decided to come visit BYC, LOL.

LOL Bug, you're in good hands with Anne.

She'll take good care of you and wouldn't lead you the wrong way. From one araucana person to another.

Jody

Good to know! We got "Americanas" this spring, of course, they are really EE. My daughter was pretty upset over it. Hopefully have some real Araucana's will make her feel better.
