Chicken Scratch Poultry

Rumpless Tufted Araucana

Chicks, Pullets, and Eggs

The Rumpless Araucana is an unusual and very rare bird, it is rumpless (no tail) and some are tufted, NOT ALL are tufted.  Most are clean faced,  or they can have one tuft or they can have a tuft on each side of the face.  They produce a turquoise-ish blue egg, a ture Araucana will never produce a pink or brown egg.  This breed is the TRUE Araucana, this  not a hatchery bird and you can NOT get a true Araucana from a hatchery. 

Having tufts are beautiful but can also be a deadly trait.  When two tufted genes from a hen and a rooster are inherited often the chick dies in the shell. So tufted chicks are difficult to get.   

We have a nice mix of colors in our flock, we do not keep our colors seperate.  When placing a chick order you will get a mix of color.  

Last fall we added in a new breeding line to our flock and we're very pleased with the results.  We're super excited to begin our spring hatches.
