Agreed on #2.

#5's toes are bad. I don;t know if they can be corrrected at this point. I am thinking likely a nutritional problem. Not sure what colour muff a BBR is supposed to have. Legs look a bit willow, but it could be the photo--I see only a hint of yellow.

#7, I have no idea. Legs are slate, though

#5 was in a bad brooder setup when he was a chick. He is a pure wheaten ameraucana and he came from Jean(pips&peeps). Shay, there are just too many pages for me to go through, sorry I havent' been on lately. If you repost the pics I will tell you EXACTLY what is what and who they came from. The black roo with the head piece is a lav split project bird that came from Harry(shaffer) and has a wonderful personality(wish I had room for more roos). The blue and red rumpless/tufted(girls broke the tuft feathers so they aren't that noticable) dude is a true araucana even though he does have a few tail feather sprigs he is indeed rumpless and he came from Gary(geareduplyn). Alot of the chicks were EE's as they were mixed colored ameraucana or ameraucana over other breeds, but there were a few pure ameraucana as I have 3 wheaten/blue wheaten hens with the blue wheaten roo, maybe even a possible splash wheaten. Like I said I can tell you what's what if you repost the pics so I can see what you need help with. Send me a pm when you get the pics at the end and I will clarify. Oh, and the one that looks like an EE with a single comb is a lavender ameraucana that hatched with an incorrect comb (as they are still a project) and also came from Harry.

Ok, couldn't let it be, had to try.....
#1 is a black rumpless/clean faced araucana (if he is one of the full size birds) and he is a nice clean black, many had bleed through but he is nice. He came from Birch Run Farm.

#2 is a blue and red rumpless/tufted aruacana and he does have a few feather sprigs on the tail but is indeed missing the last vertebrae which makes him rumpless. He came from Gary (geareduplyn)

#3 is a lav project ameraucana that hatched with an incorrect comb. He came from Harry(shaffer).

#4 looks like the araucana that was with the lav? same size? if so it is a true araucana that also came from Harry

#5 is a wheaten ameraucana that came from Jean last year, he did not hatch like that, I had a faulty brooder setup which ended up breaking some toes. I had tried vitamins but nothing worked, they were just broken and healed that way.

#6 hatched with the blue/red araucana I got from Gary. I think he is mix colored which is why his legs are that color.

#7 looks exactly like some EE's I hatched but don't think you got any that young from me?


any more questions send me a pm or even an e-mail since I get those more frequently

eta- I have found that unless an araucana breeder exhibits their birds many have mixed color flocks which is why the leg color/feather color don't match standard, but they are indeed still araucana..

also, getting a NICE tufted/rumpless, correct color legs, no bleed through is darn near the hardest thing with this breed. They also have the lethal gene associated with the tufts so it is not an easy breed.....

Yes.. I didn't read the caption under the photos. They have tufts but also beards and muffs.

I'm confused. Why do some here consider an Ameraucana to be an EE just because it doesn't conform to show standards (I.E. one of the recognized colors) and if it lays a green egg? To me an EE is a mutt. A mixed colored bird that is peacombed, muff & bearded and has slate colored legs should be considered just as much a purebred as one that is solid colored, no? Also, just because a bird lays a green egg, why does that automatically make it a mutt? Hell, even some rumpless & tuffed Araucanas will lay greenish or khaki colored eggs.
