This chicken rules. Both males and females get a bitchin' old-timey mustache, which I can only assume they twirl evilly when we're not looking. (The tufts gene is fatal - chicks with 2 copies die in the shell - so breeders going for greater yields will cross a 'clean faced' bird with a 'tufted' bird to minimize that.) They also have NO ASS:
(So they are sometimes known as the South American Rumpless.) They also lay these!
Chicken egg colors are determined by genetics, but a good rule of thumb is that chickens with white earlobes lay white eggs, and chickens with red earlobes lay brown eggs. Apparently not having an ass makes you lay blue ones.
