Crest: Large, fluffy crest of feathers covering the head, often obscuring their vision.

Broodiness: Rarely broody; not reliable for hatching their own eggs.
Gentle, friendly, and curious.

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.
