I had not the foggiest idea 1 way or the other. So I googled it. According to my pet chicken it isn't. A list of all breeds recognized by the APA. Maybe in a couple years once they are more widely established in the US, they will recognize them. Not that I care 1 way or the other. I think they are beautiful birds. I wished they didn't cost so much.
