Appenzeller

Appenzeller chickens are lovely pure breed hens, they are a mid-sized bird and very pretty and confident. They are a hardy breed and love to forage, they can be kept in smaller areas but will need plenty of enrichment, they like to be out and about and are a busy little chicken. Safe to mix with most bantams and delicates and equally able to be with larger birds they make for wonderful first time chickens. They are a good laying hen and will produce about 230-280 white medium sized eggs a year.
