Ciao, ho questo pollo di sei mesi
Si comporta come un pollo ma sembra un maschio.
L'ho comprato in Italia ma non so se appartiene a qualche incrocio. È un'Araucaana pura? Puoi aiutarmi? Grazie �

Ciao! Mi scusi la mia italiana, non lo parlo spesso
Intendi Araucana?
Non vedo guanciali (non sono sicuro se questo è corretto: la guancia manicotto?)
Dove sei in Italia?

Cocca is asking if this is an Araucana hen or rooster. They're not certain what breed it is, they just bought it locally in Italy. I'm not a chicken expert by any means, but I can help with translations. I have a few years of Italian underneath my belt as well as being married into an Italian family.
 
Oh sorry! I made a mistake with translator. I thought I wrote the n English instead I did a copy / paste in Italian 😩
Meantime thank you for your support, I didn’t expect so much 😀
In summary:
I bought this chicken ( like a female)in November and today he should be 6 months old. She is competitive with other hens, specially the smaller ones. Sometime in last week, she was a little aggressive with me. This made me think it’s a rooster.
I would also like type of Araucana is it.
I saw that you are very competent on crossing.
 
A male? 😩
Io will send a picture of tail ASAP.
Out of curiosity, in the USA standard to which type does it belong?
 
Definitely a male. As for breed, I'm unsure if it's pure or not. I am only familiar with breeds and standards in the U.S.

@Rhodebar Lover can you assist?
It's a Rumpless Araucana. After some research they definitely exist in Europe. It's variety is probably Splash Red or perhaps is considered Red Pyle. It just looks splash more than the dominant white in pyles to me. :)

Ohhh ! Thank you! We, in Italy, have only “ araucana” as breeds, without these subtle differences. They sold it to me as a “ Splash gold neck” but I think “ splash” should have blak/ white color, right?
May I have how they can get these color white/ gold? It has yellow legs so a parent must have white plumage…
Another thing : this araucana is very tall and robust, I have another araucana female (adult) but is much shorter and small than this one.
