Bantam Araucana colors?

[Sonoran Silkies]

Quote:
Gold or silver leakage in a black or blue bird is a DQ. In the silkie section of the standard, it specifies that a small amount of leakage in cocks is not a DQ, but is rather a a defect, meaning that it remains a DQ in cockerels, hens and pullets. However, that is specific to the silkie section, not araucanas or any other breed.

Okay what does D.Q. I'm new to the show scene and need to learn as much as possible.

Thanks,
Beth

Disqualify. It would disqualify your bird from the show.

I've never come across the issue or heard of it actually happen in shows, so I figured to the best - But a DQ sounds the most reasonable, as it is a common problem most breeds face in the black and blue varieties.

Hi,
I am looking for an Araucana pullet/hen for my daughter, show quality,double tufted. Your name came up with one of our 4H poultry leaders. Do you breed Araucanas? And do you have any for sale?
