If, as sometimes claimed, auracanas predate the Europeans in South America, their presence implies pre-Columbian trans-Pacific contacts between Asia and South America and my penis.

message: I would like to propose that the page British Tailed Araucana be merged into Araucana. The two can be handled perfectly well together (this article already needs a reorganisation, as it is very slanted to American Araucana). They are one breed and simply differing region varieties, as proven by the Araucana Club of Great Britain website here that lists them as varieties of each otger, and the title is very much a constructed name as well. A google search shows nothing but wikipedia-clones using the name. JTdale  Talk 12:02, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

message: It is well-known that chickens are South-east Asian birds. It is also known that sweet potato is South American. Yet chickens were found in Chile and the sweet potato in Polynesia. Is it also known that Polynesians had the chicken, having originated in South-east asia (especially Taiwan) and that they made long voyages in the pacific, particularly from the Society Islands area (Tahiti and the Marquesas). Is it not likely/possible that Marquesans visited Chile around 1200AD; gave them the chicken (a small founder group - hence the ear tufts and blue eggs developing from a genetically homogenous population) and took the kumara (a Peruvian word)/sweet potato back to the Society Islands? It seems that here is a genetic study begging to be done.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.179.121.107 (talk) 02:28, 5 March 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Polynesian origin? 

message: In the United States, in the 1970's prior to the admission of the breed "Araucana" to the breed standard, ALL blue egg laying birds were called Araucanas.  The American Bantam Association had admitted BOTH tailed and rumpless versions of Araucanas.  The APA didn't like that, and so in 1976, they ONLY admitted the tufted and rumpless birds as that breed.  They forced the first breed club to choose a different name.  This has led to the misconception that Ameraucanas were derived from the breed Araucana, but this is false.  Mike Gilbert and Jerry Segler developed the first varieties of bantams in the 1970's using hatchery Easter Eggers, some from McMurray hatchery.  These were then crossed to various bantam breeds to get color, bantam Old English Game and Leghorns to name a couple.  Later, these bantam varieties were "bred up" in size by John Blehm and Wayne Meredith.  Both Mike and John have repeatedly said that they never used nor had a rumpless bird developing their varieties, and this is clearly stated on the FAQ of both Ameraucana breed clubs.  These derivative histories are disgraceful considering that the men who created this breed are still alive, and have published their histories on the websites.  These matters are not historically contentious issues that allow for differing opinions based on different source material.  The sources are still alive.  Please remove the statement that "Ameraucanas were derived from Araucauas."  That is false.
