Araucana thread anyone?

So, is this the difference between partial and complete rumpless? I have one hen that certainly doesn't have a tail, but she does have some back feathers that are sticking out like she should have a tail. I added pics of some rumpless looking ones for comparison

Love the blue AR.

Thanks! I ended up with a ton of blues and Blacks (all with leakage though since it was a mixed color pen). A few that resemble silver duckwings too.

Final total is 5 girls (sold one with odd tail feathers), 2 tufted and 3 clean faced and like 11 boys.

1 male was definitely tailed and went to a home for food. The rest are clean faced apart from 3.

Hope is to keep 2 tufted males and 2 clean males, however I'm not sure if those numbers will cooperate.

He's not the focus of this pic, but you can see one of the silvery males on the right and a bunch more in the back

I've hatched quite a few chicks. First time with them so I'm unsure if they are cockerels as I suspect, but I think I have more of them than I do pullets.

I am finally selling my house and will move to the country. I have recently bought an araucana hen from the feed store. the guy didn't know what she is and sold her for 5 eur

I have ordered a few araucanas. the eggs are still in incubator. hoping for a tufted cockerel.

Are the Araucanas in Greece like the ones in the UK with crests?

we have both, rumpless and british araucanas. I ordered rumpless. they are common and a lot of people have them.

Well now I'm jealous. I love the British version too.

Honestly, does that surprise you at all? At least I'm not (publicly) saying I can recreate them
