Beautiful birds. I understand in Australia the Araucana is tailed and crested - indeed VERY different from the birds in the US, which are rumpless and tufted. It's confusing to call them the same breed at all!
Hi everyone - thanks so much again for your comments, it was so helpful to get a definitive answer. We've now contacted the breeder and he's going to swap them for a couple of females. We're going to miss them though. Not sure the neighbours would agree!
PS it is interesting how different the Australian Araucana is to the US one. Quite confusing!
The Australlian Araucana seem to be the same as our English Araucana's.
I have them in different colours, and have currently got two lavender males for breeding.
Your two are 100% males!
I agree both boys , I have to Rumpless non tufted boys and didn't want to belive they were both boys until they both crowed I'm hoping for some good crosses with them since Spot seems to be the ladies man of the coop
