Crevecoeur

The Crevecoeur is a old French breed. They were originally bred as a table bird. The birds of today are surprisingly larger than those from hundreds of years back. This is due in part to the introduction of Dorking blood in the late 1800s. The are similar in type to the Houdan and Polish but they lack the fifth toe of the Houdan and are heavier in type than the Polish.

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.

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.
