I have kept silver appenzellers for 20 years. They cope amazingly well in our hillside farm near the peak district:roost in an old larch tree summer and winter and are the most intelligent hardy chickens Ive ever kept. Resistant to disease and look so stunning in their back and white plummage and red combs. Not the best of layers, and never go broody - cant have everything!! but great companions.
