Not "advantages". But, you have to understand they are still Araucana's, just a fault, or DQ etc. You weigh the benefits that Any individual carries vs any faults. I have never had an issue breeding out tails within a couple of seasons. The reason for that is that I only breed the tailed to...
Set up my LF Duckwing breeding pen this weekend. Not laying yet but won't be long! Three hens, all double tufted, one has a tail. Rooster is clean faced and rumpless. He has a great comb, Nice type and good sized.
Anxious to begin breeding season for 2019. Who all is preparing to breed their Araucana? My hens are all housed together at the moment. Getting a break and being prepared for breeding. All my males, all breeds too, are living together in a pen far from the girls. Very harmonious considering...

Looking for an Araucana for a non-Araucana project. The most non-SOP is what I'm needed but there are genetics that Araucana's have that I need in this project.
Rooster - White feathered only, clean white feathers with No red leakage, tailed, clean faced, heavy (nothing under 5 pounds)...
Still hatching a few. Had some major losses this summer to a pair of Huge black snakes. Whites hatching now, first two are rumpless and clean faced. Will hatch some blacks and birchens next
