Hi
We got these 2 araucanas a few weeks ago and were told they were 4 month old pullets.
I'm not sure they are both girls. No eggs or crowing yet.
What does everyone think?
We are in Western Australia.

Thanks RavynFallen.
I'm hoping they are both pullets as we cannot have roosters where we live.

In the US Araucanas are tufted and rumpless, in the UK they can be either tufted, rumpless, tailed, muffed or crested... Australia has the crested, muffed, tailed ones mostly, I believe... and Ameraucanas were bred and created strictly in the US... I don't believe they have ever been imported elsewhere...

How interesting! I didn't know that. I looked up Australian araucaunas, beautiful birds! Makes me wish the ones here were that pretty. Personally I'm not a huge fan of the rumpless birds.
