A Yearling Tufted Roman
This gander has the rosy-pink bill and legs desired in this breed. (Keep in mind that the Tufted Roman and the Plain Headed Romans are probably two distinct breeds despite the similarity of their names.)
10-Week-Old Tufted Roman Female
Juvenile Tufted Roman females often have a significant amount of gray color in their plumage, as illustrated here. Most of them will be pure white by the time they are 16 months old. This young female also has an orange bill and orange feet. While orange extremities are less desirable than pink in this breed, we keep a few in order to maintain greater genetic diversity.
