Araucana Question

[Lynne Wernli]

I have two question, one is whether this Araucana is a hen or cockerel?
And two, one of the tuffs kind of flops around when Bird is in motion while the other one is more stationary, is this normal? Will the floppy one ever stop being loose?
Thanks!

I don't know much about the breed but, the comb is looking very red. You may also want to to post at "what breed or gender is this?" for a lot more opinions

I'm thinking you have a cockerel. The tuft may flop around if the peduncle is larger than the other side. The tufts will grow with age, so doubtful it will stop flopping around...may get floppier.

Thanks. I was hoping it might toughen up.
