HELP, What breed is this rooster?

[flyingmonkeypoop]

Now its my turn! I think he is atleast a 3 way cross to get him looking like that. I say possibly a true araucana crossed with a polish or crevecour (sp?) which would explain the pea comb and huge body and possibly the tail, we hatched some tailed araucanas that had squirrel tails. Then that bird was then crossed with an australorp which would also give the bigger body. It would explain everything. The 4 toes, crest, pea comb, big body, leg color, all that. If the crested parent had poor earlobe color to begin with (think hatchery stock) then the araucana and australorp have red earlobes which would explain why he didnt get white earlobes from a crested parent.

That is my answer and I think it would work.

You're the closest! I heard from the woman who hatched him. Here's what she said.

he is a lav split project bird I got from Harry(Shaffer). I think he is working on producing some sort of european araucana....but he is lav split, that is why his feathers are softer too if you feel him. I really liked him as he was very mellow, great personality and even though he was the biggest he was picked on a lot.

I know that. No offence taken. I just hate how people look so down on EE guesses now a days.


AWESOME! So he was a UK type Araucana. That was my first guess. But I didn't think it was possible.

Have fun with him, he sounds like a great bird.​

Thank you every one. He is a sweet bird, he looks like a huge tuffy but he really is a huge lover. LOL
I love his look.

Fine looking chap But i have to say i dont think his a pure english black arau

the ears are wrong They should be small and he has no muff or beard that the EU/UK standard tailed arau should have .

This has already been answered. The conclusion was that we was a CROSS between a UK Araucana and something else. Not a full bred bird.

actually the answer is he is a project bird that carries the lavender gene.....
