The origin of this breed is wrapped
in mystery, although primarily from Northern Europe. The Spangled was recorded
in Yorkshire and Lancashire in the 1700's. Originally classed as a good layer,
but it has now moved more down exhibition roads. It is very alert and graceful
with a fine rose comb. Large, neatly tucked wings with a long sweeping tail.
