I recently purchased 2 juvenile lyonnaise chickens. (I so hope I have a male and female). I was wondering if anyone else had this breed. I only know of one farm that has them. They are pretty rare in the US. I would like to change that. My chickens are pets. But if this works out I will try to help others breed them too. They are adorable and crazy looking at the same time. France may have a higher population of this breed than the US, but I would really love to conserve them in the US. I attached pics of my pair. They come frizzled or flat feathered. They have a variety of combs as well. France loves them because if their superior white meat. I will never find out if that is true or not.
