Really cool looking birds! Hard to find novelty. Excellent layers. Can fly reasonably well with their light build. The large combs some get can flop over and obstruct vision, or can be prone to frostbite depending on coop ventilation. Not an issue on strains with a smaller single comb.

It takes some time for the white faces to mature, you can spot a young bird that is less than a year old by the amount of white, since that doesn't come until later, after one year of age. They will have more white than other chickens, but it doesn't pop up over night. At laying age they still look reasonably "normal".

Good foragers that also handle confinement well.
