Duckwing Araucana x ? 5-6 weeks

[ClowesC]

I keep a duckwing araucana rooster and for hens... Columbian cross, RIR, white Leghorn, red cross, red star and black star hens. I added the Araucana and this is the first one I got from him not sure which breed hen the egg came from just wanted to share the photo and see if anyone had an idea which breed might have contributed the egg. One image is the closest I could get of the rooster

No clue but the youngster is awfully cute. The eyes of your rooster are amazingly bold. Very hansom fella.

Can you post a picture of your cross breed hens?

Looks like your red crosses are red sexlinks (also known as red stars). The columbian cross looks like a Delaware. Also, your rooster is an araucana mix, not purebred.

The pullet is probably from a red sexlink or a RIR hen.

I have red sex links and red x's. The Columbian x's were not sold by the hatchery as Delawares so idk?

That is my best guess to the pullet as well.

I didn't claim he was purebred. Duckwing Araucana is my best guess. What makes you say he isn't an Araucana?

His beard and crest. British araucanas have a beard and crest, but they also have tails. He does have some araucana in him though.

Thank you. Any guesses on his genes? The chicks are all over. Blue, green, black, yellow, and pink feet, beaks and skin. Some mix of rumpless, tailed.. crested, bearded.

Is it possible he's a mix of a British and rumpless araucana?
