yeah, I thought so, she always looked "different" but I didn't know if it was the way she was supposed to look. I did not help this one, she hatched on her own, the one I helped only lived 2 days

for the record they did have food, they have a trough with plenty of food in it(I just top it off all the time). The water ran out but they weren't without it for long, only a few hours.

Gary would love to see a pic "Wildly Double Tufted Rumpless Cockerel" how old is he?
Thanks

Will - there's not a whole lot of information on araucana, but there are a few good old books and the araucana site that discusses the lethal gene.
