What is the difference between a silver spangled appenzeller spitzhauben chicken vs polish chicken? Here is one I'm wondering about.

Wow, that’s a cool looking chicken! Looks like a mix between the two.

That is a spitzhauben. Shes not too bad looking. Crest is a little spred wide. I raise spitzies and one of mine has a fan crest.
This is a more proper crested female. My roo is standing behind her to the left.

And her sister which also has a decent crest and fair spangling. Again my roo Jake is trying to photobomb.

Thanks. They are so pretty, and I love how some of the spots in the first pic are heart shaped!

Agreed, that's a Spitzhauben. Finding a Silver Spangled Polish would be very rare for starters. Polish are larger and have a much larger crest than Spitzhaubens.

That's a spitzhauben with a bit of a wide/spread crest
