***Crevecoeur Thread***

Very different.
Crevecoeurs are an endangered species, according to the APA. They are very cool birds, with interesting personalities. The crests are almost the same as polish chickens, but Creveceours are always all black, with slate/black feet. Another cool feature about them is their v-combs!

I just realized this thread has not been very active recently... let's revive it!

Creveceour owners, unite! :yesss:
That’s awesome!!! I wish I had some 😂
 
I have 3 of these beautiful birds! 2 are roosters. So I do have questions as they have decided to fertilize my old English game bantam hens eggs. What exactly would the cross be called
 
Looked at the breed list and it wasn't there!!!!!!! I thought we needed this thread in order to promote and protect this beautiful crested breed that deserves to be noticed. I never realized how rare they are! I went to the Eastern States National and there wasn't ONE there!!!! Share your pictures, tell about your Crevies, and just discuss the breed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Colors!!!
Black, although Blue and white in other countries

The other colors were "created" during the Victorian poultry craze of the late 1800s, by crossing with Polish. This was during the same time period when the Crèvecoeur (the normal black version) was a major eating fowl in France ... and was considerably larger than it is today. The color variants were never really widespread. There are also some closely related breeds (Merlerault, Caumont, Pavilly) all black, from other parts of Normandy, which share some of its features (the Merlerault is similar to a Crèvecoeur without a beard). As far as I know none of them were ever imported into the US. (Thank you exop for that last blurb
