Araucana thread anyone?

[laura877]

I thought I'd let everyone know that we are back into araucanas! My family was at a show a couple weeks back and won a pair of white araucana bantams. Not the BBR largefowl that I wanted but I'm sure I can use them somehow. The rooster has the weight of a cornish, very hefty guy

Would you be interested in a black, rumpless, double tufted bantam roo. I bought him and a hen from someone local and they were supposed to be LF and weren't. I lost the hen to a pretator but I still have him. He is a real sweet heart too. He is black with just a little leakage.

I've had Araucana pullets to lay that young but also to not start laying till past a year old.

Are you able to post a picture? Sounds like it is not APA version of an araucana.

Unless you live in the UK, she is not an Araucana. Color aside, fluffy cheeks are muffs and more likely an Easter Egger. Tails do occur, although not standard for Araucana but combined with puffy cheeks, sounds like not Araucana. Can you post photo's? If you're not familiar with seeing the difference in muffs (Easter Egger) and tufts (Araucana) in chicks, you might not be able to tell the difference.

If you cannot post photo's, here are a couple of photo's to help you figure it out on your own.

This is one of my own Araucana chicks, these are tufts





This is an Easter Egger chick, I posted a link since it's not my photo or chick
