They come in a variety of colorus including: Chamois Gold Laced Silver Laced White Crested Black White Crested Blue White Partridge Creole Blue Cuckoo And More They come in both bantam and large. The crests of the males are large and pointy tipped, and usually quite messy in appearance. Whilst the hens have large round, neat crests. When young breeders tend to sex them by the development of the crest. Pullets crests come through much sooner, and are round and tidy, whilst cockerels crests develop slowly, and are messy in apperance. They are not recommended to beginners, as the crest must be kept clean to prevent build up of food in it, and also lice, mites, and fleas. They need to be deloused regularly, o prevent this. When comnig to showing them, they are more a specilised bird. The crests must be cleaned throughly, making sure that soap doesn't get into the eyes of the birds. Johnson's baby shampoo is the ebst thing to use when washing the bird. Make sure after that they are dried throughly, forst with a towel, and then with a hair drier, carefully as to not burn the bird.
