The Black-Red Araucana

Now if its an Araucana that is colourful that you want you really couldn't get a more strikingly coloured bird than this, Not only black and red but when he turns in the sunlight the black comes alive with iridescent blues, greens and purples, he really does look as if some body has put him on an easel and painted him.

The standards for this colour form are that the breast, belly, thighs tail and wings are black and the crest, head and neck orange. Back, Shoulders and wing bow red and the saddle hackle should match the neck

The hen is entirely different, she is a brown colour, or salmon with flecks of brown and each feather has a light feather shaft.
