About Sultan ChickensAbout Sultan Chickens




Sultans chickens have a unique look and are mostly used as show birds. They are small chickens and their heads are completely covered in feathers to create the appearance of a globular feather poof atop their head. They don't have wattles, instead they have a sort of three-part feather beard. Their tails are well-spread and carried medium high. And they have blue feet that are completely covered by feathers, though what makes this strange is that they have five toes rather than the standard four.  

Sultans are easy going and easy to keep, despite the added maintenance needed due to their extra feathering. Because of their facial feathering, Sultans will need a special drinker, such as a water tower. Because of the feathers on their feet, they do best in clean, roofed-in runs, though it's not advised to place perches too high for roosting.
