Very enjoyable and knowledgeable to learn about these Appenzeller Spitzhauben! I recently found out my ancestry goes back to Switzerland so I really, really enjoyed this video! Thank You for your great work with gardening and animals!
HI Allen, I am a retired Zookeeper. I have kept poultry most of. My life....I love them. Have decided on raising the Silver Laced Wyandotte, since I live in the Adirondack Mountains, UPSTATE NY. A breed very well adapted to our Climate. Really Like your Videos. THANKS...! BEST WISHES.... Ron Shook
My grandma had the wine dots when I was a child in Oklahoma. They were free range, and lay exlarge eggs. Grandma was true believe that you only keep a flue chicken in the winter just enough to feed her family. The rest We’re harvested and caned for the winter!
Awesome VLOG! You provide outstanding education on these heritage breeds! Can’t wait to hear more on the other breeds as well. I find myself repeatedly saying “Appenzeller Spitzhauben “ out loud! LOL! I may get strange looks today. Also love the Silver Laced Wyandotte’s! This world is fortunate to have people like you, who invest in raising Heritage Poultry!
Your roo is such a little love, you weren't kidding about how calm they are! He seems to be thoroughly enjoying the attention (especially the wattle rubs!)
I loved the video. This chicken is beautiful. I think it is wonderful that you do the work that you do for Heritage breeds. I always like to hear you teach about raising chickens and your horticulture projects. You are an amazing gifted man P. Allen Smith. 😊
I thoroughly enjoyed watching your video. I learned a lot and appreciate all the work you are doing to preserve this wonderful breed. I purchased hatching eggs from a poultry farm in Atlantic Canada (PEI), where like you, they are breeding with the goal of getting to the European SOP. I can't wait to see how my chicks turn out, they are only three weeks old at the moment. I love the SS Hamburg so naturally, when I saw the SS Appenzeller Spitzhauben, I was determined to find a breeder and thankfully didn't have to go too far.
thank you for such a nice video. definitely spoke to me. I currently have a large mixxed flock with no prior intention of breeding to SOP. but u have changed my mind.
Wonderful that you spend the time to do all the research on your poultry. I have several breeds but on a small farm. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and your facinating farm. I love it.
You're a wealth of information, and you make everything so clear and concise. I will look into your recommendations for more information. You are an inspiration! Leslie (Milford, CT)
Yay! I have been waiting for another chicken video. I mean, I love all of your videos but I really like the chicken videos. (I got chickens because of your older videos on ehow.)
I've just bought an Appenzeller. She was so nervous when we got got her home. I should have bought 2. The vendor lacked basic social skills and only told me this when I went to collect her.
I share your pain. I have two hens one about 4 month’s, and one about 5 months. They are extremely flighty, but once you catch them they are calm. I handle them everyday , but progress on the calm front is very slow.
Great video...I love how you invest your time into every aspect of your farm, you really seem to enjoy learning! I can tell that you have built your business from hard work and dedication. 😁🇨🇦
So lovely to see the birds again, I’m getting some saddle back geese hatching eggs next week, if you can do a video on geese it will be very appreciated.
Great video and very interesting. Congratulations for your professionalism. I have 11 chicks of this breed, how and when can I recognize the sex? Thanks Steve.
I hope you don’t breed out their utility. That’s been an issue with pure breeding. Too much focus on just color and shape and not heartiness and egg/meat production.

This is the breed I’ve wanted for the last twenty years! Hopefully I can get a few this year! They are beautiful.
The 8 week old pullet at the end is SOOO cute, she is so calm and just gorgeous! I loved this video.
That's so cool that you work to increase the populations of these birds. Thank you for your efforts!
This is a good overview of the spitzhauben. Thanks!
I really enjoyed the presentation and learned so much about the bred.
Such beautiful birds! I always love how you talk to your animals - warms my heart! :)

Great video. Really like the in depth talk about the bird. Can you do more longer in depth videos of the heritage birds?
I bought 2 silver spangled, 2 gold spangled & 2 chamois chicks today. ☺️
Those birds are beautiful!
Great Chickens!
Peter Moore Thanks Peter! 🐓

Very excited about what I learned and what the breed standars are.
Excellent information. This would be a good video to show at a 4-H or FFA meeting.

Great video! Keep on doing such vlogs;)
Does your farm sell these heritage breeds? They are all beautiful.You are doing great work in conservancy, Allen.
I have 2 Barred Rocks, 2 Easter Eggers, a Rhode Island Red and a Black Australorp
The Dalmatian of the bird world
Looked like little hearts! Not dots
Great video and very interesting. Congratulations for your professionalism. I have 11 chicks of this breed, how and when can I recognize the sex? Thanks Steve.
I would like to know more about the Buckeye breed. Are you working to conserve this breed. I love them all but the Buckeye caught my interest too.
Do you sell fertilized eggs of this breed? How can I order some if you do. Thank you
👞👞👀👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Paul's put on a few pounds. Makes him even more handsome and sexy.
I hope you don’t breed out their utility. That’s been an issue with pure breeding. Too much focus on just color and shape and not heartiness and egg/meat production.
