I thought Araucanas were rumpless.

"The buff hen is a New Hampshire Red cock with Light Sussex hen giving a buff hen with black markings.
The black with crest is a Legbar laying the green/blue egg"

In the US they are. In the UK and most of Europe, they have a few standards, one which requires a tail, beard, and muffs.

RIR with yellow legs - - that is a new standard, no?

i've seen a few older strains of RIR that do NOT have the yellow legs - - and, at one time, fit the standard. they're considered nice birds. perhaps a true heritage.

The buff hen laid her first cream coloured egg today.. She made a racket before and after doing it.
