Spitzhaubens
Appenzeller Spitzhaubens
Appenzeller Spitzhaubens are one of two Appenzeller breeds.
These are spangled like hamburgs, have a "V"
comb, and a topknot that is supposed to be upright and
face forward, not floppy like Polish. They are not lap
chickens, but they are not flighty either. Weighing in
at about 4 pounds with off-white eggs. Butch (below) is
not aggressive at all, and one breeder said she has only
had one aggressive rooster in the three years she has
been raising them.
They have been shown in Europe for quite a while, but
are not recognized by the APA.
More info on this breed coming soon...
"Butch", Spitzhauben rooster submitted by Carla
Allen:
Here are some pictures of Carla's Spitzhauben hens. You
can tell from the picture of the single hen how the topknot
should look. The feathers on the hens' topknots are rounded
while the roos are spiked (Polish crests are the same).
