bennett Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Think i have a bit of a problem. I have rehomes a aracucana, levander one and i think it's a cockeral. Basically the tail feathers are very extravagant , with 2 almost pronged feathers coming right out of the tail. It is quite young about 5months at most i would say. Not cockadoodle dooing but slightly worried. I thought the hens had short tail feathers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 I have a bantam Araucana and she has very long straight tail feathers. She fans them up a lot and they are quite impressive. Have you looked through the feathersite pictures? Edited to add: link shows Ameraucanas as they have the same tail feathers as my Lola.

Charlottechicken Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 With what little experience I have I'd say it's a boy. the tail feathers on my Lola do not droop, that's typical cockerel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
