Wattles are still the same on the other (smooth feathered) one and no crowing so I'm going to hold on to her (please be a her!). II'l try and post an updated picture of her though in case it will provide any more clues.
Looks like you may already have enough, but I have a 5mth old frizzle polish ro I'm trying to give away (I'm in the city) If you want him I could meet you in Olympia

I have a WCB Rooster, about 5 mths old. Very friendly, has a few feathers missing from the top back of his head but othher than that is lovely. Below is a link to a post with pics of him from about a month ago, head feathers are much longer now. He is the Frizzle in the pics.
Can't keep him as...
Hello,
just an update here. 6am this morning the frizzle started crowing...darn, he is so cute.

Thanks again.

Any help appreciated as I will need to rehome if...

Thanks!!

Thank you for the info, good to know. I'd still like to get one, hopefully it will lay a few eggs every now and then, my old lady hens still manage an egg every few days (when the days are longer) , so anything more would be good.

Hello,
I'm looking for a spitzhauben to join my current flock of 3 backyard chickens (pet quality is fine). I currently have 4 yr old hens (barred rock, star & americana) and their egg production is not what it used to be...
Why a spitzhauben? I just think they look very cool! I'm located in...
