I'm so in love with all of them...thank you again!!! :-) They are definitely food motivated, and they know how to get the goods!
Here's a funny photo sequence...this is Alecia, the single chick who hatched in June. We had to hand-raise her for a while and when she was a baby her favorite...
I think the red lobe is definitely something we're all trying to breed back in to the Crevecoeur...some of mine have almost a fully red lobe, but others have hardly any red at all. The cockerels seem to have more red in their lobes than the pullets...most of my girls have white lobes.
I'm...
Thought I'd share a few pictures of my darling girls...

Huge thanks to Mikaela for helping me get re-started with these beauties! Soooo love them!
Hi MzFitzDarcy!
Sorry for the delay...haven't been on BYC for a bit...I'll look in to shipping to you...can you PM me and we can chat more? Would love to send you some pairs if it'll work. Hope to hear from you soon!
Hi Crevie Folks!
Been a while (busy chicken summer!)...thought I'd post a few pictures of my crew...
My boy William looking handsome and his buddy Bowie photobombing him.
A few of the girls bedding down for the night...
William getting photobombed again...this time by the...
Hmmm...looks like a rose comb with a dark eye color...sadly not a Langshan, but a handsome fellow! Perhaps he has some Wyandotte and Australorp, plus something for the blue color? Andalusian or Orpington perhaps? Or a wyandotte/langshan cross that didn't develop leg feathers? I have a few...
Had to share a pic of my little "helper"... my Black Langshan "surprise" baby! He/she is ridiculously spoiled...emergency buddies coming in a couple days...just when I thought I was done hatching for the year!!!
I'm so sorry about losing your little one...it's always a heartbreak...
I've had good success with the three basics: cleanliness, high-quality feed and good supplementation. Try to keep all your pens as clean as possible and your bedding dry. Depending on the stage mine are in, that can mean...
This photo sucks, I know...I'll try to get some better side pictures of my 2 1/2 year old boy when I can get him to hold still (he hates being photographed!) I would consider him show quality but with the white earlobe. He has developed slowly and is still gaining weight (but now about 7 lbs!)...
Oooh...forgot to mention that I think I may have a bit of Urch's line in my guys as well...they kind of look like his too. Sadly, I've not been able to get in contact with him yet... :-(
I totally second this! Crevies that are being bred need to conform to the breed standard as much as possible (with the known issues of the earlobe color and lack of size being worked on.) I raised WCB Polish for a long time and true Crevecoeur DEFINITELY don't act like a Polish. Mine I would...
I'm going to be contacting Nutrena about this, but I wanted to see if anyone else has bought Nutrena chick starter crumbles within the last month in either medicated or non-medicated and found that the crumbles are HUGE?
I've bought three bags from different feed stores (both regular and...
I'm working on developing my parent flock right now, but I should have some finished hens available later this summer (probably August-September.) This year (due to my smaller flock) I will be re-homing any excess breeding birds to people who already have a Crevecoeur and are interested in...
Thanks so much! He is a real trooper and is actually helping his sister who's having a rougher time (she's the one who looks like Scrat in the sleeping picture.) Up until yesterday she wasn't eating or drinking, but I watched him literally shadow her and show her how to eat! I kept dipping...
