it'll be interesting to see if you have the new type tollbunt or the old type. Tollbunts have a lot of genetic issues, among them are: too many male offspring (example 5-10 roos per pullet), crooked tail, crooked crest, crooked toes, crooked breastbone, bad combs, split beaks, poor vitality, poor fertility. Almost all the Tollbunts in the U.S. are related to one another, some lines have had outcrosses added to them to try and make them stronger. Its the severe inbreeding that has lead to many of these problems. Lots of folks got them, then didn't do much with them and got rid of them, so then there was a very small gene pool to build back up from. This has happened twice on a great scale. That's why they've got so many problems. The outcrossing has resulted in somewhat of a change of their coloring as well. Spangled Orloff and Gold Lace Polish were common outcrosses, and I'm sure others have been tried.
