Although it takes one or two molts for its distinguishing look to appear, a mature White Faced Black Spanish has a completely white face, and large white earlobes that hang very low. This “painted face” look earned them the nicknames “Clown Faced Chicken,” or “Clown Chicken” for short.

White Faced Black Spanish, or WFBS, have a bright red single comb, a black beak, pure white face, dark brown eyes, and dark legs with four toes. Their feathers are completely black throughout the body. Like most Mediterranean breeds, the WFBS is flighty and loud. They are very curious, active, and expressive. They show tons of personality, and often express it vocally. They also tend to develop bad habits of laying eggs in odd or hard to find places, frequenting areas you wish they wouldn’t, and getting into places you wish they couldn’t.
