Rumpless Chicks, Are they Rare/Special?

[kelseygirl707]

So I hatched our some babies and one is this giant yellow fluff ball with very fluffy cheaks, and I was having pasty butt issues with it, and that's when I realized it was rumpless! Then I realized that a second one was rumpless! Because there is no tail there is nothing blocking the fluff from getting in the way when it poops. So is rumpless a good thing, or a bad thing?

Ok so I'm dumb, I just went to the breeders personal page and saw that she has a rumpless Roo, LOL, I don't know why I didn't notice before

. Her roo is beautiful, So I'm guessing Rumpless is a good thing......

Here are some pics, the chicks are wet (I just finished cleaning their pasty butts, lol) but that makes it easier to see their rumplessness.....

Anyone know about Rumpless Chicks?

Araucanas are a rumpless breed. But they have tuffs, not muffs. Maybe do a search on Araucanas and see what you can find. Who did you get the eggs from?

 

[kelseygirl707]

I got them from AHappyChick, Thanks sooo much for the eggs, even with horrible humidity problems at hatching I got beautiful babies! If my Humidity problems hadn't been so bad, I would have gotten at least 5 more.

Did they come out of blue eggs?

Araucanas arent the only rumpless breed.



Do you know what breed theyre supposed to be?

 

[kelseygirl707]

Yes they came out of blue eggs, I think, I had both Blue and brown eggs in the bator, but I would assume they came from the blue eggs

I believe they are mixed breed, I just bought a big ol lot of 30 for a really go price, I believe all her chickens run together, but she has a pure white rumpless roo.
