Black-Breasted Red

A variant of Araucana (Gallus gallus domesticus)

Representative Araucanaphoto — a dedicated image of this exact morph isn't available yet.

Classic red-and-black game-type coloration (orange-red hackle and saddle over a black breast), an APA-recognized standard color.

Cross a tufted bird to a clean-faced (non-tufted) bird to avoid lethal-gene chick losses; expect lower-than-average hatch rates regardless of color.
