No. They are not supposed to; and it's not a tendency the breed is fighting, either. I have never seen a Creve with a leg feather, or even a stub... and I have seen and raised a number of different hatchery and breeder lines of Crevecoeur. If you have a black, crested chicken with feathered...

Hi therr, do you have chick or adult pictures? I've talked to the people at Cackle a couple times as I would like to get them started with Urch stock. I gathered that they may have tried offering Creves at some point but something hadn't worked out and they weren't at the present time. I have...

Switching around my Urch Creve breeding pens (8-7-21) and will have eggs on offer until things stabilize. I posted a notice in the hatching egg buy/sell/trade thread!

Interesting about the aggression. Six or more years ago I got a "free rare breed" chick in an assortment of hatchery Silkies. He turned out to be an Andalusian and a total, unredeemable little bastard. I've never had a more mindlessly high-energy aggressive bird of any breed.

Sultans are a large bantam breed, similar in size to a Silkie. They have five toes (like a Silkie) and feathered legs (like a Silkie). They also have what is called "vulture hocks", stiff long feathers at their hock joint which project out and backward. True traditional Sultans are white...

Hi, if you will notice, I've been here since 2010... check out the very first post in this thread (page 1). Of the three Creve breeders listed, I'm the only one still going. I've posted various good pieces of info to this thread over the years, along with old illustrations, so you should check...

"Giving up" :-) ...After 13 years with this line, you would be hard pressed to find a breeder more entrenched. No one's giving up anything here :-)

Nice photo, Miss Ashly... is that the Ideal cockerel again? What about the hens? Good luck with them, they are a nice looking trio. To everyone interested in breed conservation, please bear in mind that the original Creve is black and was never blue... any blue Creves out there are the...

Spoilt70, Expectations of massive profits are not a good reason to raise a rare breed, that is the way pyramids get built up... and then collapse, when suddenly no one wants to buy your, emu for example, and everyone is left with a lot of emus on their hands that they don't know what to do...

I'd like to put my oar in here and say that anyone raising Crevecoeurs should be aware, there is a significant problem with the American standard of perfection listing the Creve with a red ear. The Crevecoeur breed does not, and has never had a red ear, except perhaps for isolated individual...

Quote: Not just any hatchery stock - McMurray in particular, look iffy. Something that people new to chickens often don't get - and something that exhibition poultry folk are just as likely to be clueless about because it is beneath them - is that not all hatchery stock is the same. Each...

I'd like to put in a word here if I may... I haven't been back to this thread in a good long while. Mostly it seems to be people who have just got Crevecoeurs saying positive and encouraging things to each other, which is nice, but it starts to become an echo chamber where things that need to be...

One definite (if small) thing I can point out is the white / pale skin around the eye, on the face of the roosters. None of my male Crèves have had white skin around the eye; by the time they're recognizably sexually mature, with hackle and sickle feathers, that area is bright red. With the...

NB: Here are some pics of what we should NOT be striving for with the Crèvecoeur. This is an Italian photo of a black Paduan, or Bearded Polish. In the US and the UK we lump all the Polish / Polands together, but Europeans consider the White Crested Black Polish and its color variations...

Before I forget, I finally got the Crossroads pics downloaded from my camera! Here is the sole LF Crèvecoeur at the 2011 Crossroads show, exhibitor number 585. Pic taken 10-28-11,

Nice looking boy! Good comb, good wattles, nice crest and hackles, good shape! Looks like a fairly solid build. Have you tried weighing him at all? Quote: He does need some girls of his own!

We could definitely use some more breeders! I went down to see the Crossroads show just south of here, and there was only one Creve large fowl in the entire show - even though it was the APA eastern nationals. How incredibly depressing. Best - exop

Heather, sorry to see you go! Hope you will get back into Crèves at some point in the future. Best - exop
