Is this common for Arucanas?

[chickensinMT]

I have a adult arucana roo who is black with some light brown/gold speckiling(sp?) on the back of it's neck. Is this normal for them?

They come in lots of pretty colors! Can you post a picture of him?

Maybe a black that was bred to a BBR? (wild genetic not wheaton)

It isn't an APA accepted color pattern, if that is what you where asking.

What color are the legs?

 

[chickensinMT]

Sorry for the late post. anyway his leggs are a light grey/slate color. just curious if it was "normal". I'll try to get a pic of him and post it

Judging from the picture thats not an araucana.

 

[chickensinMT]

sorry. the guy I got him from said that he was. so I don't know anymore

More potential of being ameraucana. araucana are rumpless (no tail) with ear tufts. People often interchange the names it seems.

Good looking roo.

thanks for the info! I really apreciate it

Araucanas can have tails as well, but they wont have muffs. And they can have clean faces too. Its just not what you want to breed for.
