1. Araucana

   The Araucana (Spanish: Gallina Mapuche) is a breed of domestic chicken from Chile. Its name derives from the Araucanía region of Chile where it is believed to have originated. It lays blue-shelled eggs, one of very few breeds that do so. Breed standards for the Araucana vary from country to country. It may have unusual tufts of feathers on the ears, and may be rumpless, without a tail and tail-bone; in the United States it may for this reason be known as the South American Rumpless. Both ear-tufts and rumplessness are caused by lethal genes, so not all birds display these traits. The Ameraucana breed and "Easter egger" hybrids of the United States, which also lay blue or green eggs, both derive from the Araucana.

1. Araucana

   The Araucana, also known in the USA as a South American Rumpless, is a breed of chicken originating in Chile. The Araucana is often confused with other fowl, especially the Ameraucana and Easter Egger chickens, but has several unusual characteristics which distinguish it. They lay blue eggs, have feather tufts near their ears, and no tail. To comply with the North American standard they must have no tail and are rumpless. The ancestors of the modern Araucana chicken were purportedly first bred by the Araucanians of Chile—hence the name "Araucana". The Araucana is a hybrid of two South American breeds: the Colloncas and the Quetero. The males of the Quetero have loud musical voices. The Colloncas male and female are very similar, with very few secondary sexual characteristics like comb, wattles or tail coverts to distinguish them. The European equivalent of the North American show standard variety Araucana is what one comes across in South American villages. Tejudo or "Quechua" lack ear tufts but the face is densely feathered, an adaptation against severe cold and wet. It is the progenitor of the Ameraucana. The Chaco "Crested Mapuche" exhibits a prominent crest.
