I admit I usually don't go for fuzzy headed chickens but I think these guys are stunning! The colour on that rooster is pure butter. Gorgeous birds

Interesting looking birds, I always think they look a bit surprised about things.

Your right OC they do. They seem to have larger eyes than most chickens and are darker. The chicks always remind me of the big sad eyed puppies!!

Do you have some chick pictures you can post?

Hi Kathy, I could not seem to find any downloaded pictures on my computer of the chicks so I went internet searching and found some.

I have my fingers and toes crossed that Gracie goes broody when you have some hatching eggs available, FRF. I've loved this breed for what seems like forever.

Are they a small breed like leghorns?
