Thank you 
I love the feathering on these birds!
All the following information is from Feathersite
| Quote: | The Polverara is a rare Italian chicken from the area near Padua. Nearly extinct in the early 1900s and again in 2000 (down to 10 specimens) it has been saved and now exists in 2 varieties, Black and White. Breed characteristics include willow green legs, red face, white earlobes a small V comb, a beard and a large crest, tho' smaller than that on Polish. This breed is quite similar to the Brabanter.
The hens are nonsitters and good layers of small white eggs.
Males weigh 2.5-3kg and females around 2kg.
