Ok Here's the deal, I am on my 3rd yr now working on my own line and having much success, All my flock has proper pea comb,egg color,leg color,Type is good etc. Now I have 1 Rooster Which meets the european standard (rumpless,tufted,bearded) I have kept him as a Lawn ornament (not with the rest of my flock) But He is so handsome That I Would like To breed him to my US standard Rumpless Tufted Araucana Hen's. The ? I have is if I only Keep Rumpless Tufted non-bearded offspring will they still carry the gene for beards, My line Is coming along so well I dont want to Ruin my progress. Please Advise
