tufted rumpless araucana feathering question

As for which of yours are rumpless, I think that 1, 2, 4, and 5 are rumpless. And chick 3 and 6 (6 definitely has a tailbone) have tails. I hope chick 5's bottom gets better soon, poor chickie.

Sadly, doesn't look like any of yours are tufted, which is a shame, since the genetic lottery should have given you a 50% chance of tufts with none that are homozygous.

Here are some tufted chicks as an example, these are very young, the day after they hatched. Once they dry off their little tufts are pretty apparent.

These are a few siblings from the same hatch that are cleanfaced.
