This interesting breed was imported from the island of Sicily over 100 years ago and is another member of the Mediterranean class. It has attracted wide-spread interest over the country because of its unique beauty. The golden color and cup-shaped comb are the basis for the very descriptive name. The comb is a cupshaped crown with a complete circle of medium sized regular points. The male and female do not look alike in coloring. The males are a rich, brilliant orange red with some black spangles in the feather of the body fluff and cape feathers at the base of the hackle; with lustrous, greenish black tail. The base color of the female is buff with all feathers on the body marked by parallel rows of black elongated spangles, giving the hen an appearance of being beautifully spotted and suggesting a ringneck pheasant hen. Skin color is yellow and shanks and toes are a willow green. Because of its unusual appearance the Buttercup is an excellent breed for exhibition projects. Click to Enlarge

	Customer Product Reviews   I loved the Buttercup pullets that came in my Ornamental Layer collection. They are fairly calm, with big, brown eyes and are great little layers. Confirmation, leg color, and combs are close to perfect.     I have purchased several varieties and I can say without reservation that Buttercups are my favorite!!! They are friendly, fun and inquisitive. They always try to sit on my shoulder when I am cleaning and feeding!

Dear Sirs I would like to take the time just to say Thank You to your staff. They were ready to help, and went the extra mile to ensure my total satisfaction with my order. I have found in this day and age that business practices of that nature have all but died. You have earned a customer by your genuine concern and courteous attention that was shown each time that I've called. And to all the ladies in your office that helped me, thank you. Sincerely, Gary Wagner Martinsville, IN
