These are pics of my RIR, her name is Macaroni, she had ONE tail feather but it got plucked by one of the bigger hens

She grew up this way by the way

This is Mac and her sister Postcard

Very pretty chickens! That is amazing that she doesn't have a tail. I have never seen that before (but then again, I am a newbie to chicken world)

Both versions are pretty the one with the tail and the one without.

I have one a lot like that. Her momma is an Aurucana (I know I messed up that spelling) and her sire is a Cochin so she looks pretty funny with no tail, the tufts, and then fuzzy feet. LOL I love her though and she is one of my favorites even though I paid for purebred eggs and got the mutts out of them. She is a dark red color just like yours. So pretty

I think shes pretty funny looking. It looks like a football running across the lawn by itself haha

I wonder if its genetics...maybe I can breed tail-less chickens hahaha

Araucanas are tailless chickens. That is how they are bred. As a purebred they are pretty hard to find. They lay blue eggs.
