That's it... it shall be tufted and bearded and muffed and tophatted and frizzled and featherlegged and rumpless..... and it shall be great. And we will rejoice.

What color? Spangled Creole? Cool chicken! I want one.

Actually, that's the standard for Araucanas in many countries. We're the weird ones, to be breeding our araucanas with no muffs or beards!

yep, wish they had muffs/beards/tufts here, I think it's cool

guess I have the right birds, maybe I should just make some

oooh, maybe I should use lavender while I am at it

If you put a tophat on those UK arucanas they would look like a four leaf clover.

They are very cool!

Go for it Dipsey!

BTW how are those creole seramas???

Oh! and don't forget it should have a naked neck and maybe Silkie feathered!

Hi! I'm inclined to think y'all are just mocking me now.

I really didn't know if it was genetically possible to get both beards/muffs and tufts on the same bird. Isn't the tufting gene squirrelly to work with (read lethal)? I had never seen a pic of a bird with both, so I wondered if the 'presence' of tuft gene might make the beard/muff go away.

I have no tufted ones here, so no first-hand experience.

I'm not getting eggs regularly from them to make shipping 'just them' worthwhile, Steph, but I have 3 fresh now if you want them.

the tufted gene is difficult to work with.....
