Ungues erant atri. Tuberculum in fronte gerebat magnum, figura ficus, coloris fere caerulei. Cauda longa, minime ut in nostratibus Gallis surrecta, sed ut in Pica extensa. Altera non ita erat atra, sed coloris fusci tantummodo, quique in collo, et alis ad cinereum vergeret. Tuberculum in fronte alterius iam dictae simillimum. Rostrum eiusdem coloris, sed minime aduncum. Caetera etiam similia, sed cauda carebat. Planta adiecta est hordeum distichon.

Toenails were black. In front it carried a large tubercle with the appearance of a fig and almost blue in color. The tail was long, not at all erect as in our roosters, but stretched out as in magpie. The other hen was not so black, but only dark in color verging to ash gray on neck and wings. The tubercle on the front was very similar to that of the other above-mentioned hen. The beak was of the same color but not less hooked. Also the other parts were similar, but it lacked a tail. The attached plant is distichous barley.
