Cool, camoflaged chickens for suburban farmers.  You could pass them off to your HOA as some new kind of dog - a Chickiepoo.

America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards.

Funny! The ones with the split combs look like little devils. Creepy.

Oh cool! my new (this spring) chickens are part of this group, the Appenzeller Spitzhauben. I bought two unsexed chicks just because they are different, and ended up with a male-female pair.

They're nice chickens; funny and personable.

That is so great!

Isn't it sad that corporations like Monsanto want to melt everything down to one or two types of everything?

Oh that was great, thanks a ton for sharing it.  They look like little works of art.  I love how it said originally Silkies were sold as "crosses between chickens and rabbits".  That's so funny.

That just scratches the surface of chicken diversity.  Hawaii has all those and more.....
