Mine are (laying, that is). Running with a variety of cockerels (not that it matters) until the boys get seperated into pure-breed pens in a couple of months time.

Am sure people do this to wind me up...
Araucana. Anything else you care to put to it. Offspring - "Shetlands".
Re combs - entirely depends on what's gone into the mix to make your "Shetland". Some do, some don't. All part of the mongrel mix.

Highdown Poultry are on the Kent/Sussex border, and have some really nice breeding stock to get hatching eggs from - various sussexes and araucanas, amongst other things.
They've a website, though offhand I couldn't tell you. I daresay you'll be able to Google them, and I seem to recall they're in last month's Country Smallholding poultry classifieds...

My pleasure. I got Speckled and Buff Sussex from him, and BLack/red and Gold Duckwing Araucanas. It's a lovely set-up, brilliant breeding stock in superb condition.
Inspiring, as well as a good place to get hens or hatching eggs.
