Description
The White Sultan Chicken is a very old, rare breed of poultry originally bred for the enjoyment of Turkish rulers. All of their plumage is solid white and they are the only breed to have all the extra body parts. White Sultan Chickens have distinguishing features including a v-comb, full crest, muff and beard combined with profuse feathering on their legs and feet and an extra fifth toe. Sultans require clean, dry, and covered coops to help keep their plumage beautiful. Sultans are not classified as a production chicken although hens do lay fairly well, around 2-3 small, white eggs per week. White Sultan Chickens are known as some of the tamest and calm chickens around, making this ornamental breed ideal for pets or exhibition.
