Congrats. It feels great to find a home for a good boy. Hard to find.

Hello
Do these chicks look mottled to you?
Dad is black (son of a speckled/jubilee colored cock, and a white hen) and Mom is solid black (I don't know her parents).















I hope you enjoyed them!
Regards,
Urte

Do you guys know of any other tufted breeds besides araucanas?

The araucana is the only tufted breed. They are also the only breed that combines, tufted, rumpless, and blue egg laying.

Having said that the Ketro is tufted also which is one of the birds used to create the araucana.

I almost wish more breeds had tufts. It is such a fun, albeit sometimes difficult trait!

It would be disqualified. It needs to not only be tufted and rumpless, but be the correct color, size, shape, and skin color.

i figured, but thought it was worth a shot. I havent bought a copy of the SOP yet. You would of thought at least after the first uear of showing i would of bought one, but i havent got to it yet lol. Everything is correct on her except she has no tufts. Thank you
