Araucana thread anyone?

Congratulations. Looks like you finally got what you were looking for. How many chicks did you hatch prior to this one?

I got tufted last year. It was just odd I hadn't gotten any since Fall of last year.

Guess you were just unlucky.

Here's the one I hatched from Colt.

Little spitfire

2 of my 4 gals are brooding again. One Leg is on her second batch after building a clutch again, and my black one is on her first clutch.

My blue male definitely fathered a good handful of my mixes. I see a bunch of tailess chicks running around from brown and white eggs, and I do have one that seems full araucana. Hatched from a blue egg (Bunny's), no tail bone, full pea comb so far, and same down pattern as his mama.

Bunny has another chick. Need to check its tailbone and see if it has one ot not.

Not the best photo, I was in a rush trying to get to work and I need to clean the pen out again when I get home. The one close to the wire is the one I got from @ColtHandorf. Unfortunately little dude seems to be a boy. Never got red faced like everyone else his age, but the coloring and saddle feathers shout male.

 

[ColtHandorf]

Definitely a male.

 

[JacinLarkwell]

Definitely a male.

Dang. I'd hoped female since he didn't have tufts, but at least he won't be related to any of the girls.

He's certainly a looker though. Excited to work that color in
