Body: Upright and slender build.
Crest: Large, fluffy crest of feathers covering the head, often obscuring their vision.

Eggs per Year: ~150–200 eggs (moderate layer).
Egg Size: Small to medium.
Egg Color: White.
Broodiness: Rarely broody; not reliable for hatching their own eggs.
Gentle, friendly, and curious.
Can be nervous or skittish due to limited vision from their crest.
Do well as pets and are popular in exhibitions.
Roosters are generally less aggressive compared to other breeds.
Climate: Adaptable, but crest feathers can get wet easily and may cause discomfort or even frostbite in cold, damp weather.
Housing: Coop should be dry and well-ventilated; perches and nest boxes at accessible heights since vision issues can make them clumsy.
Free Range: They can free range but are more vulnerable to predators since their crest blocks vision—safer in secure runs.
