- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5most of the pictures are of poor looking APA birds. The last two, a gold duckwing Araucana and a naked neck silkie were the exception. The other Araucana in the book a silver duckwing was hideous. The Marans had no feathered legs. Nice photography but there just isn't any information here.
