in my experience only thick tufted had low hatch rate. thin tufted birds had better hatch rate.

greece, europe. have not seen tufted araucana in years. I like cf as well but the entire flock of cf is not what I like.

I hope to get araucana eggs next week! I want tufted araucanas and everyone here I know have clean faced. a friend of mine went to bulgaria and ordered some eggs from there. I hope they are available now. btw clean face araucanas have better hatching rate. if both hen and roo have thick tufts...

a friend of mine trimmed their around butt feathers as he got infertile eggs. otherwise their eggs are just like any other breed's eggs. if you have both males and females tufted expect up to 25% DIS.

our first frost this winter. I hope it will be the last as well. no araucanas at the moment. I do miss them. when I get all the things done I probably will get them again. but I need to fence an area for each breed. araucanas are great foragers.

MERRY CHRISTMAS ❤️

I hatched 1 out of 5-6. I gave a few eggs to a friend who put them under his broody and in his incubator. see what happens.

I have a few developing as well!

I am getting a pair of british araucana (lavender)!

I put a few eggs under turkey. 1 got broken. see what happens next.

in europe we have 1) clean face (tufted or not) and 2) muff/beard araucanas. I guess the 2nd type is araucana/ameraucana cross.

german type araucanas are rumpless and have muffs/beards. I have 1 hen like that.

araucanas here still don't lay. no frost here but it seems they have been on strike. silkies did not lay all summer as well.

are they sort of EE or what?

I have seen both males and females with beautiful tufts.

we have both, rumpless and british araucanas. I ordered rumpless. they are common and a lot of people have them.

I am finally selling my house and will move to the country. I have recently bought an araucana hen from the feed store. the guy didn't know what she is and sold her for 5 eur:lau I have ordered a few araucanas. the eggs are still in incubator. hoping for a tufted cockerel.

those feathers don't grow from the part where tail bone would be. not sure if that is called partially tailed. I see some side feathers. I hope someone who knows better will chime in.

I am not an expert but this looks like bad rumpless to me. the tail bone is completely missing. I had a partially rumpless araucana mix. she had a 3-4 feathers tail (a tail bone partially developed).

I would start as soon as possible and keep the record. some of them get a partial tail early.
