Sumatras

These are my new sumatras.

Does anyone want to take a stab at the gender of this bird? I'm new to the breed, and chickens in general for that matter. Do female Sumatrans have combs as pronounced as this? Of the three birds I own of this breed (which are not from a dedicated breeder) this bird has the most distinct and pronounced comb.

I don't have Sumatras but that looks like a roo to me. They look like they have feathered legs. Is that true?

I see feathered legs as well, so in that case you would not be judging by what a pure Sumatra comb would/should be

Umm...it looks like they have feathered legs & cochin-like butts...not purebred...I'd guess that one is a male. It looks like he's got some saddle feathers coming in?

Hello,

I have been raising sumatras for several years. My original stock was from a well known breeder in North Carolina who has since gotten out of the hobby. I loved to show them and did extremely well at shows when I had time. I've been at school for six years and finally have some time now to get back into it. I have about five roosters and 10 hens (blue, black, splash) and hatched about 150 chicks this summer. With the warm weather I've called it a year and going to see how the babies turn out. Hopefully I'll have some for next years shows.
Is anyone else still raising this breed? I know when I was showing it was extremely rare to see someone else showing sumatras at the same show. It is such a cool breed.

Pic is one of my original males. He died of old age earlier this summer unfortunately. But I did get several babies from him. Blue male in background.

The face is definitely that of a sumatra but they've been crossed with something else. Most of the pics are those of males.
