Polish, Araucanas, Oriental Gamefowl (includes Shamos, Asils, Brazilians, and Ga Noi) Ameraucanas, and French Marans.



I say Oriental Gamefowl because all of those to most people are easily confused or thought of as the same thing, and it's unfair to only name one of them.

Araucanas, Polish, Shamos, Olive & Easter Eggers
