Sleek

minimal feathering (not too "fluffy" like an Orpington)

Rumpless

smallish comb

Red or brownish in color

rumpless is a sign of Auracanas.. but cant say without pictures really.

I don't have pictures.... these are the traits I am aiming for

Aracauna is the only rumpless chicken I know of. Have you checked Henderson's Chart? You will have to sift through the information but it should help.

yes, I've been looking the chart over... not easy to pick out all the traits!

The chart doesn't have pics for every breed though.

thanks!
