Product Description

These charming bantams, famous for their tailless appearance and striking blue eggs, are a delightful addition to any small, peaceful back garden flock. Our Bantam Rumpless Araucanas are fully vaccinated and ready to settle into their new home - but they will only thrive in a small flock of similar sized birds - they are not suitable for mixing with larger Hybrid birds. They’ll typically begin laying their vibrant blue eggs around 24 weeks of age, and they really are a bright blue egg! 

For a smoother transition when bringing new hens home, we highly recommend getting a poultry drink, something similar to this, (available on Amazon - or your local pet shop), when purchasing pure-breed chickens. Moving to a new home and flock can be stressful, and using a drink like this can make a real difference in helping them settle in by giving them a boost of energy and vitamins.

What We Offer:

  • Breed: Rumpless Araucana Bantam – known for their compact size, tailless shape, and beautiful feather patterns.
  • Point-of-Lay Bantams: Healthy, fully vaccinated, and ideal for small flocks.
  • Colour Varieties: Until they come from the hen nursery, we do not know exactly what colour feathered bird we will get - you can select your own bird and colour on the day. 

Why Choose Rumpless Araucanas?

  • Compact and Unique: Their bantam size, lack of a tail, and striking colours make them a standout addition to any garden.
  • Blue Eggs: Despite their smaller size, they’re reliable layers, producing up to 120–140 beautiful blue eggs annually.
  • Gentle Temperament: These calm and friendly bantams are well-suited to small, tranquil flocks.

Care Instructions:

  • Housing: Provide clean, dry coops with low perches and plenty of ventilation to suit their smaller size. Nesting boxes should be cosy and secure.
  • Outdoor Runs: Rumpless Araucanas enjoy foraging but require dry runs to keep their feathers clean and in good condition.
  • Feeding: Start with growers' pellets until 18 weeks, then transition to layers' pellets as they near laying age. Fresh greens and grains make excellent occasional treats.
  • Flock Integration: Introduce them slowly to other bantams using separate housing or a secure pen. We do not recommend mixing them with hybrid hens, as their small size and gentle nature may put them at risk of bullying.

Important Information:

  • Flock Compatibility: Best kept with other bantams in groups of at least three to ensure social happiness.
  • Vaccination: All hens are fully vaccinated to ensure they are healthy and ready to join your flock.
  • Collection: Available for collection now, with colour selection on the day - you will need to pre-order your hens before you come. 

Reserve your Rumpless Araucanas today and enjoy their delightful personalities, unique looks, and iconic blue eggs in your back garden flock.
