Appenzeller Spitzhauben Chickens are rare, medium-sized chickens that originated in Switzerland around the 1500's from the monasteries of Appenzell. The crests of feathers on their heads closely resemble the headdresses ladies used to wear in Switzerland. Interestingly, Spitzhauben is German for pointed hoods so it's only natural that these birds would be called Appenzeller Spitzhauben. Their black and white speckled plumage, forward thrusting crest with a V-Shaped comb and full fanning tail make them an interesting and unique addition to your flock. These Appenzeller Spitzhauben Chickens are excellent climbers and flyers and love to roost in trees. They do well in larger coops with ample run space and are very much free-range birds. These Appenzeller Spitzhauben hens are good medium to large white egg layers beginning to lay around 6 months of age.
For additional information on this product, please see the Product Documents section for all downloadable user manuals, installation guides, brochures and warranty statements.

Dead Chicks
2 years ago
My first time shopping online for chicks. I was heart broken when 3 out of my 10 chicks arrived dead and two more are lingering to life. I don't know why I though this purchase was a good idea. Worse thing is that I have another shipment coming tomorrow. And another thing. I could have sworn the clerk at the store told me that I could return the ones that I received dead. When I called TS, they told me they have nothing to do with this. That I had to deal with the shipping party. So far, I can't find any information regarding a refund. My loss for not informing myself.
No, I do not recommend this product.
