Partridge in ARAUCANAS? ***PICS added***

[Birch Run Farm]

Anyone have any, know of any? I promise I'll get a pic up soon but I have a VERY interesting pullet chick with some massive tufts coming in. She looks partirdge to me!

Well, there is BBR. Which version of partridge do you mean--as in OEG or as in cochins/wyandottes/silkies?

 

[Birch Run Farm]

Her feathers (still chick feathers) look very much like my partridge rock hen. And no, no way is she out of that hen.

Here are some photos.

Comments? She is still very small yet and will molt into adult plumage.

Where did you get the chick from? If it is a "Araucana" I would say it is an EE.

She's definitely not a typical EE (which have muffs/beard/tail), as she has visible tufts and appears rumpless. She's a typical nonstandard color araucana, which happens quite frequently in this breed. I don't think I've ever seen that color, but she is beautiful. Do you plan to keep her? I'd love to see her in adult plumage.

Oh yes, she's a keeper. She is out of true araucanas so I don't know where the EE comment comes from. She is rumpless.

She looks like she needs a hug.....

Oh, she does look partridge. Did you hatch her out? She looks like an Aracauna to me.
How fun! You have a new color project I bet. Good luck
