EE or pure?

I know that Salmon is a color variety. The most common color of Faverolles is Salmon. I also know that they have feathered legs. I was just saying that he was colored similar to a Salmon Faverolle male. He could have been a poor quality example of the breed. I also know about EE's. You said that yellow legs was a sure sign that he is an EE. BUT MOST EEs have green legs. Not all, but most. So how could yellow legs be a sure sign?

All that said, I agree that the bird could be an Easter Egger.

Because an Ameraucana would have black or slate legs. EE's can have any color legs and his are yellow.

OH, I get it now. Thanks. I'm going to quit posting on anything that even remotely resembles an EE.

???? Your response makes no sense in reference to the quote.

dsquard was refering back to this quote. Banjoe meant that since the bird had yellow legs, he couldn't be a purebred. I took me awhile to understand it, too.

If the OP was asking if this were a pure araucana, it would.

if the bird was pure araucana it should be runpless and tuffed the bird in question has a full tail and a full beard/muffs. not araucana

There was also discussion of whether it might be a faverolle (not that they have yellow legs, lol). Lots of times using plenty of words to say one's entire thought process is well worth the effort.

Just to clarify a misconception. A true araucana does not have to be rumpless or tufted. Those two traits are what you breed toward but can be tricky to accomplish. However the bird in question has a muff and a beard and is not a purebred araucana.

If an araucana is born with a tail or does not have tufts and yet comes out of two purebred parents it still is a purebred araucana not an EE. When bred to a rumpless bird with tufts it can produce rumpless tufted birds.
