| The Ameraucana lay blue/green eggs, but unlike the Araucana it has a tail and possesses muffs and a beard, which are quite different from the tufts of the Araucana. Muffs and beards are fluffy poofs that grow on the cheeks and chin of the bird, whereas tufts are actual feathers that grow from fleshy lobes called peduncles on either side of the birds' face. Tufts are associated with a lethal gene, which makes them difficult to attain. |

| Buff Orpington |
| The Orpington is a large bird from the English class of chickens. It is a bold, upright breed with a wide chest, broad back, and smallish head and tail. The Orpington was bred as a dual-purpose breed (meat production and eggs), but its popularity grew as a show bird rather than a utility breed. Their large size and soft appearance together with their rich color and gentle contours make them very attractive. The original Orpington (the Black) was developed in 1886 by William Cook. He crossed Minorcas, Langshans and Plymouth Rocks to create the new hybrid bird. Cook named the breed after his home town in Kent. The first Orpingtons looked very much like the Langshan and were black. Between 1889 and 1905, Cook also created white, buff and blue colored Orpingtons. The breed was famous for its great egg-capacity. |

| Many years ago, the country houses of the Catalan districts of the Penedés bred hens characterized by laying dark brown eggs. During the first half of the 20th century there were several attempts at defining a standard for them without any success. Only the standard for a black variety (BlackVillafranquina) was approved in 1946 in the Spanish State. In the latter half of the century, the spread of the birds was very limited. There were only a very few left and the breed was in great danger of extinction. Those that did remain constituted a very heterogeneous population in their plumage colour, but they did share some characteristics, amongst these were: a comb with lateral appendixes, white earlobes, blue slate legs and laying very dark brown eggs. |

Guineas are an interesting addition to your farm or acreage. Guineas are the farm yard watch dog, sounding the alarm whenever anything unusual occurs. They will consume large amounts of insects and seldom bother your garden or flowers. They are easy and inexpensive to raise. Once started, they fend for themselves, living on insects, seeds, and grasses. They control deer ticks, wood ticks, grasshoppers, box elder bugs, flies crickets, and all other insects. Their call will discourage rodents. They will kill snakes, and will alert you to anything unusual. Pearl Grey are a dark gray with white dots through out their plumage. They are the old fashion original color of Guineas, a favorite, prized by many for their beautiful polka dotted feathers. Lavenders are a light blue-grey with white dots. This is one of the oldest colors and is very common. |
