	Araucanas by Alan Stanford, Ph.D. from the June/July, 2007 issue of Backyard Poultry
		Ear tufts are quite different from the beards found on other breeds, for example Ameraucanas, Houdans, Faverolles, Polish, Crevecoeurs, Silkies, and the lady at the circus.
		Colloncas have no ear tufts but are rumpless and lay blue eggs; Quetros have ear tufts and tails but do not lay blue eggs.
		The tuft gene is lethal; two copies kill the chick a few days before hatching (an occasional double tuft gene bird does survive).

	The Classroom @ The Coop
		The ear tuft is composed of a group of feathers which grow from a tab of skin just at or below the ear orifice.
		The skin structure is called pedicle but it must be present if there is to be an ear tuft as this trait is a skin structure and not a feather mutation as are muffs and beards--this accounts for the fact that tuft feathers are quite different from those of the muffs and bears.
		The tuft is formed by the stiff feathers growing from it.

	Araucana History (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The esteemed Dr. Castello who had originally mistaken the tufted rumpless as the "true" type he was not informed until after his initial announcement that his Gallus Inauris "Araucana" was the result of a hybridization program and they existed only on a farm of Dr. Bustos in Valparaiso, Chile.
		The ear whiskers that are present on the breed are called tufts.
		The tuft gene can be lethal leading to some of the hatching chicks being still-born (dead in the shell).

		Draw out the short fibers by grasping the exposed part of the tuft (the butts) between the thumb and first finger of your right hand and maintaining modest pressure as you pull that hand away; only the "guard hairs," the long, substantial hairs that project beyond the soft underfur, and a bit of underfur remain.
		Measure the tuft of hair against the hook, tie in the tuft at the bend using the pinch, and add securing thread turns.

		The 'pencil' or tuft of fl hairs on the ear, often supposed to be diagnostic of a true (Canada) lynx, is just as regularly present in our wildcat.
		The coloration of the latter, both as to tone of color and boldness of the fl markings, is variable, and, although it has only one molt (this in late summer and fall), its pelage shows considerable seasonal change.

		Purplish-veined oval leaves, more or less hairy, that spread in a tuft next the ground, are probably as efficacious in curing snake bites as those of the rattlesnake plantain (see p.
		When a credulous generation believed that the Creator had indicated with some sign on each plant the special use for which each was intended, many leaves were found to have veinings suggesting the marks on a snake's body ; therefore, by simple reasoning, they must extract venom.
		Unlike the preceding, the Canada Hawkweed (H. Canadense), lacks a basal tuft at flowering time, but its firm stem, that may be any height from one to five feet, is amply furnished with oblong to lance-shaped leaves seated on it, their midrib prominent, the margins sparingly but sharply toothed.

	Vestibular Syndrome
		The problem seems to be due to inflammation in the nerves connecting the inner ear to the cerebellum (which controls balance and spatial orientation).
		Inner ear infections are probably the most common cause of similar symptoms and if recovery does not progress satisfactorily it is a good idea to do whatever testing seems necessary to rule out inner ear problems, such as ear examination and X-rays.
		What is thought to happen is that the nerves of the inner ear connecting to the cerebellum, which controls balance and spatial orientation become inflamed causing the distressing symptoms previously described, but why this should happen is as yet unclear.

	Signals From a Hair Cell
		The star of the performance, magnified many times under a high-powered microscope, was a sound-receptor cell from the ear of a bullfrog, called a hair cell because of the distinctive tuft of fine bristles sprouting from its top.
		In humans and other mammals, hair cell bundles are arranged in four long, parallel columns on a gauzy strip of tissue called the basilar membrane.
		Sound waves generated by mechanical forces, such as a bow being drawn across a string, water splashing on a hard surface, or air being expelled across the larynx, cause the eardrum—and, in turn, the three tiny bones of the middle ear—to vibrate.
