Your Boo is beautiful! Thanks for the help everyone ... my biggest worry was the sex.

OK, one more chick analysis please ... this is Simone, my youngest (8-9 wks). Hopefully she is a pullet?? Also, does she look like a 'true' Araucana?
Araucana Check list: Rumpless - yes; Green legs - yes; Clean-face (which is OK, right)? How is her coloring?

Here I am to give you more bad news

She's an EE.

Yes, she's rumpless. Nice green legs (but I don't know if they are dark enough to be called willow

).

However, she isn't clean faced. She has muffs. See the small humps of fuzz to either side of her face? That's what those are.

Her color isn't an APA accepted one. I still like it, though... almost looks like a lighter RSL. Would be an awesome project bird - good chances she carries the blue egg gene.

I'm not a breeder or a genetic expert. But, I do know that she is beautiful! Whatever she is, I'm sure you'll enjoy her and her pretty eggs.

Thank you ... I figured she would be. Which is fine with me, I hope you are right about the blue eggs, that would be a special treat.
Have a great day.
