Chickens. They’re great, right? As well as giving us fresh eggs, they can also be pretty entertaining thanks to their quirky characters. But what about their looks? These are some of the fanciest chickens out there.
Silkie chickens
It might come as no surprise that silkie chickens have earned their name due to their incredibly soft feathers. These fancy chickens are also incredibly friendly and loving, making them an excellent addition to many homes.
Frizzle chickens
At first, frizzle chickens look pretty normal. That is until we take a closer look and notice that their feathers curl outward, making it look as though they have a frizzled appearance.
Polish chickens
Polish chickens often turn heads thanks to the poofy feathers around their head. Some varieties even come with a silver-laced look, making it seem as though their feathers have been outlined in pure silver.
Yokohama chickens
If there’s one thing that many chicken lovers have learned, it’s that most Japanese breeds are quite impressive. They tend to have very long tails, and the Yokohama chickens are no exception. These gentle creatures make great additions to the family, especially as they frequently lay eggs.
Phoenix chickens
The phoenix has earned its name for its fire-like colors and is one of the fanciest chickens thanks to its impressive tails. Like most other breeds that come with feathery and stunning tails, they are bred for their looks and not their laying abilities.
Sultan chickens
Sultan chickens look similar to Polish chickens on top, but there is something very different about their feet. They look as though they’re wearing little boots.
