Mystery bird!

[huevosfritos]

...know I'm really confused, the more pictures I see, the more I read, the worse it gets!!!!


What kind of birds are these?

MY NAME IS ALEGRIA:

I'M PITAGORA:

AND I'M LUFTHANSA:

 

[peruvian_princess]

They look like Easter Eggers to me. Not sure about the last one though!

 

[Cuban Longtails]

Easter Eggers, commonly mis-labled as Ameraucanas.

 

[Rte.66_chicks]

The last one has whitish legs, so can't be EE. Its back looks like my Speckled Sussex, but the lower parts look too light, maybe a cross?

 

[huevosfritos]

THE THREE OF THEM?????

I only ordered 2... but also got a rare breed chick for free (which I think is lufthansa, the last one)

Are there any specific characteristics to look for when identifying Araucanas?

Thank you all for your help!!!

I am no expert but I think they have the bushy beards and that is how they can be distinguished.

ok, that's what I thought... the first two: Alegria and Pitágora are Araucanas. The last one: Lufthansa is either my rare bird or a Speckled Sussex Rooster. Make sense?

thankssssssssss!!!

I thought a true pure bred "Araucana" had no tail feathers (rumpless).

 

[huevosfritos]

well, I don't know about the pure "lineage"...She is a WOP!!!

...but you are right, I guess these are the araucanas/americanas.
Any take on the gender of the last one [Lufthansa] ?

thanks!!!!
