***Crevecoeur Thread***

I found this:

Interesting, it's in French....but note the HUGE white earlobes, no beard, huge wattles and small crest. Looks very similar to a La Fleche but the hen next to him doesn't.......

WOW! I love how much bigger they are compared to the American ones!

got to say, those are pretty darn ugly to me...glad the US ones are supposed to look like they do, I think it's the beard and muffs that add it for me, just makes them look so much better. Those just look like a poor, non bearded black polish to me,

I was really excited to get what I'm told is a rarer breed chicken. Now I am still trying to decide if Skunky is going to stick around or not. He is my only one and I would want to get some hens to go with him. What color do you consider his eyes and earlobes? How do I determine if he a good quality bird? Who's standard do you go by? I'm not sure I want to invest time in him if he isn't good enough quality to breed. He is missing some tail feathers thanks to a long winter in the coop.

Yep
I agree, he is creve for the most part, but definately has SOME polish blood in him a very common deal in hatchery crevecoeurs.
Eye's are bay and lobes look pink....
as for whos standard you go by, you go by the standard set in the country you live in.
If you took one of those white lobed non bearded French things to an APA show, and called it a crevecoeur they'd run you out of the building.
same over there with one of ours.
