Araucana?

[ChiknChief]

We got this guy free as a "rare breed" from McMurray. He's very handsome, but what breed is he?

 

[LindsayB]

Easter egger

And a very handsome one!

 

[JakRat]

Looks like a Welsummer to me.... not sure though

 

[ramirezframing]

ee my dad has one just like him that i hatched last year

 

[The Turken Lady]

He is an "Easter Egger"
They are easily mistaken for Araucanas or Ameraucanas.
A true araucana is rumpless,has two tufts and yellow legs.
A true ameraucana looks like your cock in the picture,except a different color.
(Brown red,Wheaten,Blue,ect.)

He is the not so rare Easter Egger.

He is NOT a welsummer. This is a welsummer rooster:

Yep, definitely an EE. Araucanas, by U.S. and Canadian standards, are rumpless (missing their coccyx) and have ear tufts.

Is your boy debeaked? Or am I just seeing weird things? It looks like his mouth is open to crow, but he has half an upper mandible!

Yeah...that's why the picture looked weird!

And yes, he's a regular old mixed breed, EE

I can see his top beak. It just blends in really well with the background. If you squint, you can see it.

Just has his mouth open. He has a few full beak. Me and my son have the marks to prove it. His name is Bing Crosby. He's a good singer but not nearly as nice as his namesake.
