These birds have been the foundation of our flock. They have stood up to the arid Colorado weather here which means cold winters, hot summers and not much rain so no many plants or bugs. Very...

Acquired these two girls from someone who wasn't supposed to have them in the city. They were still pullets. They lay one egg every other day between the two of them. Have not noted them to be...

I wasn't sure I'd like them but have found them to be attractive and friendly so far. Hardy robust little birds.

I like everything about it except how it looks right now. I know it lays decently. It is a great part of my great waterfowl flock.

Thats a good idea. I wanted to ammend what I said about the frizzle feathers. When they develope their wing feathers you can see the frizzled from the none frizzled.

straight feathered~will have feathers a little rounded on the end and contouring to the body.

frizzled feathers~the feather will be curly outwards and in a lot of cases they will be shreddy on the end of the feather tip.

I don't think you will have a problem telling them apart. Once you see it it is obvious. Maybe a month tops till you know for sure. Hope this helps/
