RARE BREED
APPENZELLER SPITZHAUBEN
The Appenzeller Spitzhauben originated in Switzerland. They are black and white speckled with a v-shaped comb. These birds are excellent climbers and love to roost in trees. They do not do well in smaller coops because they are very much free-range birds. The hens are very good medium to large white egg layers. The feathers on their heads closely resemble the headdresses ladies used to wear in Switzerland. Interestingly, Spitzhauben is German for pointed hoods.
