All birds conform to the standard with correct plumage color, rose combs, uniform wattles and earlobes, broad backs, deep breasts, and 4 toes. These are large fowl, with the roosters weighing 8 1/2 lbs and the hens weighing 6 1/2 lbs. Our flock free ranges through out the day. These are great birds. They are docile and fun to have around.
