Bearded or tufted breeds!

There are many bearded breeds, which one is best?

Polish also come in bearded varieties!

Silkies would have to be included.. for some folks.

And this link says Houdan and Sultan are also bearded..

I've enjoyed many but don't have a true favorite.. possibly preferring clean faced and definitely preferring clean legged.. for my current location and set up. Easter eggers are fun bunch though!

Do you have a favorite or are you considering adding some to your flock?

Belgian d’Anvers forever. No contest.

Pics would be great of all these breeds! Some of us (me!) may not be familiar with all of them!

Btw these are not my pics.

It might be the same. I’m not an expert though
