Isn't it amazing Your real tufty is incredibly so, I didn't realise they could have such a full boufant!! Bit like a Poland in some respects.

Mind you - the chick that died wasn't Snowball's. Who knows? The 'mini' tufts are more usual, either that or smooth heads - the mini tufts are called tappit hens here and the ones people tend to want.
