	Araucana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Araucana is a chicken breed of South American origin known for laying green or blue eggs.
		One theory is that chickens were introduced to South America by seafaring Polynesians during pre-Columbian times, with the Araucana having been already established as a breed in the Chile region before the arrival of Europeans.
		When the Araucana was first introduced to breeders worldwide in the mid-20th century, it was quickly realized that the genetics that produced ear-tufts also caused chick mortality.

	Araucaria araucana - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Araucaria araucana (Pehuén or Monkey-puzzle) is the hardiest species in the conifer genus Araucaria.
		It is native to central Chile and west central Argentina, and is an evergreen tree growing to 40 m tall and 2 m trunk diameter.
		The name "araucana" is derived from the native Araucano People who lived on the nuts (seeds) of the tree in Chile.

		The absence of Araucaria araucana (Mol.) Koch from the list of conservation priorities compiled by the FAO Panel of Experts on Forest Gene Resources (FAO, 1974) may be partially due to lack of knowledge of the value and of the current status of this species.
		araucana have an acid pH of 4.5 to 5.4 and tend to be sandy in texture.
		araucana forest in the Chilean Andes is from 600 m to the timberline, although Nielsen (1963) reports some isolated individuals as low as 500 m which suggests that the present lower altitudinal limit of the forest is the result of deforestation.

	ARAUCANA (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The rumplessness of the araucana is unique in that it is the standard trait of the breed rather than being a one of a kind birth defect.
		The ear whiskers that are present on the breed are tufts of feathers that grow from the ear lobe region on the side of the bird's head.
		The araucana is very difficult to breed, therefore, in the 1970's, breeders came up with the ameraucana.

	The Araucana Chicken (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Araucana is a unique breed that has been a topic of controversy ever since it was first imported into the United States sometime during the late 1920s or early 1930s.
		Araucana chickens were bred primarily for their novel characteristic of blue eggs.
		Two distinquishing characteristics of the Araucana breed are that the chickens are rumpless (i.e., no tail -- that is, there is a complete absence of the tailhead) and have tufts of feathers which protrude from each side of the neck (see Figure 1).

	Araucana Hatching Eggs Large Fowl and Bantam_SkyBlueEgg
		The Araucana chicken, is a breed of poultry which lays blue and blue/green eggs that can trace it's descent from two rare South American types of chicken - the Collonca, and the Queteros.
		A later article by the same publication which came out in September 1948 chronicles the efforts of, Ward Bower, Jr of Monroe, New York, who imported the first three "Araucana" to the United States and was responsible for the successful establishment of their genetics in North America.
		The current North American breed standard for the Araucana calls for a pea combed, rumpless, tufted, blue egg laying bird, drawing characteristics from both the Collonca and the Queteros.

	CentralPets.com - Chicken - Araucana Page (Printer Friendly Version)
		Araucana Chickens were bred from a South American chicken from a region probably in the northern section of Chile.
		It was probably a hybrid bred from the Araucana natives' breed of chicken, the Collonca, crossed with the Quetro breed.
		Because Araucana Chickens are difficult to breed and because there are a number of hybrid chickens similar to the Araucana, you should be sure that you obtain your chicken from a reliable breeder with well-documented bloodlines, if you wish to be sure it is purebred.

		All the Araucana types lay strong shelled eggs that are coloured throughout the shell (the inside colour being the same as the outside) with blue being the favoured colour.
		Another characteristic of the Araucana are their full beards and ear muffs.

	Brown Egg Blue Egg - APA Araucana Standard
		Little is known of the origin of the Araucana except that some came from South America and they have the distinction of laying a turquoise or lue shelled egg.
		The characteristic for blue egg color is dominant and will occur in the offspring when this fowl is crossed with another breed of domestic chickens: hence, cross-breeds which lay blue or tinted eggs are often mistaken for Araucanas.
		Bred primarily for its novel charcteristic of blue eggs, the Araucana is, nevertheless, a dual purpose fowl that carries a plump, well-fleshed carcass.

		Similarly, in Conguillio National Park, which is known for its large areas of pure A. araucana forests, 1600 ha of this forest were burnt.

		The blue-green eggs of the Araucana chicken have been items of interest for several reasons.
		The Araucana is not a new breed in the U.S. The origin of the breed has been traced to the country of Chile and the birds were brought to the U.S. around 1920.
		Another reason for attention is the report that Araucana eggs contain little or no cholesterol.

		Unique characteristics: Other than the unusual ear tufts and rumpless forms, the most interesting from a utility point of view is that the colour of the egg permeates throughout the shell of the egg so a blue egg will be blue inside the shell not white as other eggs are.
		We found that some birds we bought through the Araucana society as foundation stock had very good hatchability but the egg colour was not great - although we had asked for blue egg layers there had obviously been some mixing as olive and khaki was prevalent.

		This type of chicken is commonly referred to as an "Araucana" or "Americana/Araucana" but the fact is these chickens are neither a purebred Araucana or an Ameraucana but they are a mixed-breed/mongrel variety.
		Araucana's are not that common in the United States.
		They are a blue egg laying, "rumpless" (no tail) bird that sport ear tufts, clumps of feathers growing at or near their ear openings and no muff or beard.

		While the terms "Araucana" and "Ameraucana" refer to actual breeds, the term "Easter Egg Chicken" actually refers to "Araucana Mix" and is not an accepted breed.
		Persons purchasing chicks of this breed should be aware that unlike true Araucanas or Ameracanas, the only thing that qualifies a bird as being an Easter Egg Chicken is that it was hatched from a green or blue shelled egg.

	Ameraucana Breeders Club - ABC History
		After the adoption of the APA “Araucana” Standard in 1976, those breeders who had been carefully breeding and improving the bearded muffed types of “Araucanas”, were out in the cold, ruled “out” for exhibit as no longer “Araucanas”.
		Ralph had succeeded in developing a strain of white tufted rumpless large fowl Araucana that were (and ARE) outstanding, and Don Cable then turned his attention to those bearded muffed tailed blue egg layer bantams, also being shown then as “Araucanas”.
		But two former “Araucana” clubs had recently folded due to internal squabbles, and one had been carrying on a running public feud with the leadership of the APA in both newsletters and through the Poultry Press.
