plumage, with large single combs, and
clean slate-colored shanks.
They are good foragers. and like to
roam over the fields, but they stand
confinement well and are very gentle
when kept in small yards.
One of the greatest objections to

gives so much trouble in cold climates.
They require houses where the temper
ature will not go below freezing, and
they must be closely watched during
days when there are sudden changes.
Frosted combs are not only insight

weeks after swelling has disappeared.
Taking them altogether, the Minor

exceptionally well suited for those eli
mates which are only moderately Sc
