do i finally have an araucana or another cross with something??

[spish]

lays green/blue eggs (but they are quite light?) but the chicken is very small (id say bit bigger than bantam size!)

Lovely girl!! Some Araucanas will indeed lay a lighter colored egg.

That is indeed an Araucana though, and lovely tufts she's sporting.

What color are her legs?

 

[spish]

good question i have no idea! but i can look tomorrow when its light outside (they are all in bed now)

 

[spish]

there is two of this chicken (one is brown) but the brown one doesnt have tufts..is she likely to be a cross?

Not necessarily,

Most Araucana do not sport tufts. Tufts can be difficult to get. I have 3 tufted roos and 1 non tufted roo. Most of my hens are clean faced ( no tufts ) a few have tufts. Every tufted Araucana only has 1 copy of the tuft gene so sometimes they do not pass it on.

Is the other one rumpless also?

I like her tufts they look very nice and even.

In my experience the bantam Araucana are really small, at least mine have been dinky. The large fowl are merely small. My roos tend to be decent size but the hens are smaller.

I'd find a breeder on here and get some hatching eggs.

Congrats.
