Cons: New to us - no complaints
We have two bantam that need to have their own area from our 60+ orpingtons
Will follow with photos - check www.diastolealpacafarm.com under chicks
Our goal is to raise them with the alpacas for fly control - once the livestock guardian dogs accept them into their "herd".

I received two campine chicks as part of a " layer collection" (or something similar). From the very beginning, these birds were flighty and skittish. They could be handled (and were... DAILY) when small, but as soon as they were transitioned from the brooder to the coop, they wanted nothing to do with people. In comparison to my plymouth rocks, they could be considered quite anti-social!
Then, they approached the point of lay... and our silver campine started screeching at such a high volume as to concern our neighbors on either side of us. They thought it was a baby crying! She would shriek and screech throughout the day--sun up to sundown (and no, she was not a rooster- just a wannabe).
It is perfectly legal for us to keep our hens, but out of consideration for our neighbors, I quickly rehomed our campines. As far as urban backyard flocks are concerned, I consider them to be a poor breed choice. Especially if your goal is to raise hens "in secret" and/or want to stay on friendly terms with your neighbors;-)

Pros: Very pretty, good forages
Cons: can be flighty

I have raised a few through the years and always enjoyed them. Decent layers of white eggs. Can be hard to confine if you don't have a top on your lot. They love to forage and are good flyers.
Article: Campine
Breed Details: The name is pronounced kam-peen. Coloring: Campines have a solid colored head and hackles (either gold or white depending on variety) and the body is barred with iridescent beetle black. Their skin is white and the legs are lead colored. Earrlobes are white, beak is horn colored, and eyes are dark brown with a black pupil. Hens and roosters have the same feather pattern. Build: They have a long back and carry their tail very upright. Males weigh average 5-6 lbs and hens are around 4-5 lbs. Their single comb is fairly large and often flops over. The combs are susceptible to frostbite. Other Information: They feather quickly but mature relatively late. They lay and an average 3 eggs per week. While they are considered a egg production hen, they are primarily kept for ornamental purposes. Campines tolerate confinement they do much better if allowed to free range. Differentiation from other breeds: Silver Campines look very similar to Egyptian Fayoumis as chicks. The head and neck feathering will be a more pure white rather than the silver/grey of the FayoumiÂs. Per the standard, the black barring on the Campine should be iridescent; this is not true of the Fayoumi. The Campine will have lead colored legs vs the Fayoumis will be slate colored or willow green. Campines feather pattern is barred and FayoumiÂs are more penciled. Buttercups have a similar feather pattern, but the single comb of the Campine is very easy to differentiate.
