Of course I have no experience with the breed, but gave it 5 stars because I really want to try these guys out next year! I love their mean little faces & it's a bonus that I used to live in Creve Couer & miss it!

The Crevecoeur is a old French breed. They were originally bred as a dual purpose egg and table bird. The birds of today are noticeably smaller than when the Crevecoeur breed was first formally described around 1850. This is due to breeders over the years focussing more on fancy points and neglecting meat qualities. The are similar in type to the Houdan and Golden Polish but they lack the fifth toe of the Houdan and are heavier in type than the Polish. Good summer layers of white eggs.

Article: Crevecoeur
Breed Details: These are very interesting birds and although not reputed as amazing layers, in my own experience, the hen lays a large white egg almost daily. They are very calm and friendly birds that bear confinement well. They are not good forgers and should have protection against wind & cold/wet conditions. They also do not handle excessive heat well. |
