Very, very nice! Yes you can see all the pictures. I want some but I will have to wait before I say I want anything else, until I can find out where I am going to put them all. I really do think they have very nice tophats and I love the black ones.

I pm'ed you!

Nice spitzhaubens! I will have to do some heavy culling with all of my Spitz to get the correct mohawk on their heads!

How did the black came into to the picture? Was it a throwback?

Shannon,
Have you hatched any of their eggs yourself? If so did you get any blacks? I was just curious if they will be visual or just carry the gene for black.

i'm tempted to get some just so i can say the name. So when someone asks "What the heck are those?" i can say "Those are Appenzeller Spitzhaubens!". The coolest name in chickens!

I want a dozen. I've sent you an email.

I purchased the entire flock as young chicks. I picked the black ones because I thought they were just the coolest. Upon further investigation, I found that the blacks are totally rare.

I began with the whites and blacks separate from each other. I then decided I'd mix 'em up and see what happened with the chicks. I'm curious to find what gene will dominate.

Most people can't even say the name! I had a hard time myself. Locals just call them "top hats". Appenzeller Spitzhauben sounds sooo much better though!
