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.

Rare, I was given several crevecoeurs last summer and I had not intended to keep them. Once I saw their personalities and comical appearance, sociability, I could not part with them and am planning to keep the breed. From what little I have read, as you say, they are rare and endangered. I plan to preserve the genetics and maintain the standard as best I can.
They are 6 months of age now and the hen is laying an egg almost every day. I wish there was more literature about them. The hard part will be in culling out the undesirable cockerels. I have had to do it with Orpingtons, to preserve the integrity of that breed and standard, as well.
