joza2210 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Hello , Just been looking into getting some rumpless araucanas ... Does anyone own any and can give me advice on the breed and some pictures of your rumpless araucanas ? Thanks Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellykelly Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Does the name 'rumpless' mean that they won't have a bum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 they have no tail, their feathers sweep riund their bottoms so they have a neat compact outline, I think they are very pretty and elegant but they are not very popular! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joza2210 Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 Haha i really like them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom123 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 The thing is, they are rarer than Normal Aras so hard to get hold of. Plus, I can't see them selling too well, there's a reason they are quite rare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madchook Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 But yet in the US I think it is the breed standard is it not? I had never heard of rumpless birds until googling the Araucana club t'other day and finding the American site. They look odd to me, not in a bad way though. There is always a market for the weird and wonderful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
