Araucana thread anyone?

[JacinLarkwell]

hi people, I'm not sure this is the right place to post my question but I would like to have an opinion: are these araucanas?
shouldn't their eggs be less greenish and more blueish? shouldn't they have tufts? I know standard varies from country to country, but their sisters do have tufts, so maybe they're some mix (in this case are they EE)? thanks for your answers!

Not sure about the eggs, but araucanas can be clean faced

American Araucanas can be clean faced-lacking tufts. There is an Araucana color card that has the allowed colors of Araucana egg colors.

thank you, I found the card you mentioned online and seems that eggs can be greenish.

thank you. I don't know what else should I look to be sure, assuming it is possible to tell for sure just watching them! they come from a sanctuary, not from a breeder.

they look like araucanas, just not show quality. anyway, very few birds are show quality even when they come from a breeder.

Hey y'all how's it going? I lost my cockerel to again a dog, I'm expecting one at the end of the month from Ann Horsman. My pullets are laying now, but obviously too young, and too small eggs. I'm lucky if they're over 40 grams. River is almost 2 years old and finally laying about a 60-gram egg. I have 2 of hers in the incubator now to see if anything develops finally or not. She's housed with an American Bresse Roo. I'm not sure if they're even fertile or not. My Bresse pullets are obviously loosing feathers from breeding, but I haven't noticed this on River.

One of my pullets started to lay. The eggs are a pastel blue green with some tending toward one or the other. I’ll be test hatching quite a bit if anyone is in Florida (NPIP and can ship also) and would like to purchase the chicks I’ll be hatching as I try to sort out what to focus on. She is a black clean-faced rumpless pullet and he is a blue or blue wheaten dt cockerel also rumpless. I’ll post a photo of him when I get a new one. He changes color as quickly as a chameleon.
I also have a cuckoo cockerel that has a shorter back and will be paired with a dt pullet with a tail. And a blue rumpless pair.

Here is my golden blue boy

... and my dt blue Araucana started to lay. Here is a comparison photo. Her egg is darker and greener than my cf black Araucana. The egg in the center is the blue pullet’s egg the others belong to the black Pullet that started to lay last week. I’m disappointed so far. My CL lay much nicer colors. I have some amazing Araucana Roos though and very sweet-natured girls so hoping to get the egg color I’m looking for with rumpless clean-faced chicks with proper back length.

Here she is.

Gorgeous birds! I’m finally hatching mail-order Araucana eggs after wanting these birds for 20 years. I’ll be happy if I can get one male, one female.
