Araucana or Auracauna? The first is a breed, the second is nothing (could just be a misspelling on your part). Is it REALLY tailless? I don't think any of the big hatcheries sell Araucana, only two I know of sell APA Ameraucana. Most co-op/farm store resellers label them whatever the hatchery they get chicks from labels them. No small Araucana breeder is likely to sell their rare birds at a co-op.
As others said, many big hatcheries refuse to call the non-breed Easter Egger by that name. Instead they call them Ameraucana or Araucana (which they are NOT), or they make up a similar sounding name like Americana so you THINK you are getting something "special". Frankly I think EEs are special. There are so many different colors and patterns. You never know what you have until they do their final juvenile moult.
Oh I’m sure I misspelled it!
