Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Use British English Template:Infobox animal breed
The Rumpless Game is a British breed of tail-less chicken.Template:R It may have originated on the Isle of Man,Template:R and may thus be known as the Manx Rumpy.Template:R There are both standard-sized and bantam Rumpless Game.[1]
History
Manx Rumpy
The British breed has never been imported to the United States.Template:R In 1958 some tail-less birds, supposedly of Iranian origin, were crossed with other breeds to produce an approximation of the British type, and the name "Manx Rumpy" applied to them,Template:R perhaps by analogy with the tail-less Manx cat.Template:R The Livestock Conservancy recommends that they be called "Persian Rumpless".[2] They are not recognised by the American Poultry Association.Template:R They are good layers of brown eggs, and may also occasionally lay white, blue, or green eggs.Template:R
Characteristics
The Rumpless Game, like all other tail-less breeds such as the Araucana and the Barbu d'Everberg, lacks the uropygium from which the tail grows.[1][3] It is a hard-feathered breed, with a single comb and small wattles and earlobes. All colours are acceptable under the standard of the Poultry Club of Great Britain.Template:R
