Chicken Breed Focus - Colloncas

[ChicksAre4Kids]

I'm so glad to see this breed profiled.

Me too, I hope to see more pics from others as well.
I fell in love with them the first time I saw one!

Leg color would be more blue than yellow I think.

Also, they are not a standardized breed. Colloncas can't be narrowed down too greatly to a specific set of qualities.

In South America, Colloncas were whatever came out to be clean faced and rump-less. In essence they were "beardless-no-tailed-ones."
And then you had the "no-beard-has-tail-ones." Egg color and most other phenotypes were un-notable.

Thank you breed focus! Husband consulted the seller before we bought her, he said he'd forgotten what breed she was but it started with a C. For a while I figured it was just a language difference since Dutch and English translate funny but I read the Colloncas breed focus and it clicked!

She has no tufts (but does have feathers so she's not totally naked-faced) and no rump, and laid blue eggs up until The Great Molt of Fall 2015. Definitely a Colloncas and not an EE.

Don't have any, but would love some.

@sumi check your spelling "Americauna". Should be Ameraucana.

Edited to add. There seems to be at least 3 different accepted spellings/names for that breed.

There is only one spelling for Ameraucana. Some hatcheries intentionally misspell the name to trick uneducated people into thinking they are buying the true breed instead Easter Eggers.

what are these:




pea comb but legs are more slate that greenish. I got them as rumpless clear faced araucanas. the breeder does not know a lot about this breed, he is a hobbyist.

According to the Ameraucana Breeders "Ameraucana" is the accepted spelling I think also APA spelling also.

So then a clean faced Araucana could be considered a Collonca?
