Bad pic. Can u tell breed??

I think EE's too! Esp without rumps, an Araucana cross to make an EE.....Hey it would be interesting to know what color eggs are they laying?

one lays brown, the other laid like a bluish green egg. not olive but not blue lol

Rumpless is dominant, so Araucana could be pretty far back in lineage as long as rumpless mutts were used for the continuation of the breeding project.

Rumpless bearded EEs are a project for some backyard breeders as Araucana are very difficult to breed.

Wait, they're laying? I would have bet money based on the pics in the original post that those were ~4ish month old EE cockerels. lol

Sorry, no.

Mottled Java's look nothing like that. These are mottled Java's at 10 weeks:

bears? ?? lol

ameracanas have the beards, muffs, and tails while araucanas are tailless, have no beard or muffs, but they do have ear tuffs

This IS an interesting thread.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the UK can't Araucanas have tails and also crests?? -- And if a bird is a breed...i.e. Araucana, isn't it interesting that the characteristics can be so different across the pond?? --

Also, isn't a slate or blue leg a requirement for an Ameraucana? soooo confusing, IMO.

I think they are the Barred plymouth rocks because their pattern on the feathers looks like a zebra.

Absolutely, 110%, without a doubt, NOT Barred Rocks. lol
