Pros: Lay HUGE eggs, friendly
Cons: Very rare, shallow gene pool.
Crevecoeurs are really neat birds. They are smart, lay (huge) white eggs and are very friendly. Most of my hens are extremely "talkative" too and the roosters eat out of my hands. Very nice birds. They are in dire need of more people dedicated to working with them.
Pros: Very fun to watch, sweet personalities, IMO very pretty bird.
Cons: Hard to get up to SOP (what bird isn't?) Really needs more dedicated breeders.
My boy is super sweet and huggable, my girl is a bit afraid of me, but if I pick her up when she isn't expecting it, she calms down nicely and lets me pet her. She is not up to the standard in size, and is smaller than my leghorns. However, she seems to be going through a growing spurt at 19 weeks. These older breeds may continue to grow for quite a while. I was told 6 months, then they start filling out more. We shall see after they're a year old how large they get. I'm getting more eggs in the spring because I really love these birds and hope they'll lay well enough (at least 3 eggs a week) Then I'll be happy.
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!
Pros: Funny, funky and commicial with great personalitys
Cons: Topknots often get dirty and their lack of vision from them can cause them to get frightened
Pros: Looks nice. Great idea
Cons: Cant observe baby chicks too well.
Disregard . I put review in wrong place.
Pros: perty
Cons: n/a
Love the topnot and the beard. Do they come bantam as well? For those who know these these fowl well plz educate me
Pros: very docile
Cons: hard to get them to lay so far
I love this romantic looking breed:) they are my favorite breed out of the several types we own, very gothic very docile and I want more so far my hens are not laying though:(
Pros: They make you happy! Very sociable, easy to keep, blend in well with guinea fowl and Orpington chickens, hens lay a nice egg.
Cons: We have little experience with the breed. From what I can tell after raising a few cockerels, there is a wide range of type in their V combs.
Another positive is that we have confined several young roos together and they do not fight. It would be very helpful in Crevecoeur breed could have a spot on BYC dedicated to them.
