Here we go again. Can some one tell me the difference between (Class and Variety) when it comes to chicken. Sorry to be so dumb.

My son started 4-H and he needs to match up species and breeds. We knew most of them but have no idea what the rest are. Can anyone help us please. These we do not know these, Rouen, Broad White, Houdan,
Booted (Mille Fleur).

These are the answers we have and need to match them up. Bantam, Chicken, Duck, Goose, Pigeon, Quail, and turkey.

Hope you understand this. Is a Booted (Mille Fleur) a Bantam or Chicken
What is a Broad White?
What is a Houdan? I found that one, it's a chicken. Very nice bird
What is a Rouen?

Thank you all for your help.

I tried that and it took me 1/2 an hour to find the other one's we didn't know. I thought it would be faster just asking my friends on here. Thanks
 
Anyone that reads the McMurray catalog from cover to cover would see a rouen duck, looks like a large mallard. The Broad Breasted White turkey is the popular commercial type. Just look up McMurray Hatchery, I think the Houdan is a chicken and Mille Fleur is a bantam.

Edited because I can't spell!

By broad white, do you mean broad brested white? If so, it's a turkey
A Houdan is a chicken, standard or bantam I believe
A Rouen is a duck
 
Thank you that was so much faster. I looked on line but all I could find for Cornish was recipes. lol We have to match up pics with them and they are in black and white. None of them look like a cornish hen.

Thanks again for your help.

Booted (Mille Fleur) is a Bantam but a Bantam breed of any kind is also a Chicken if you getting what I am meaning. So I would answer both! lol Broad White is a breed of Turkey. Houdan is a Chicken and Rouens are a breed of Duck.
 
Booted Mille Fleur is a bantam chicken

That is a beautiful bird and that helped with the pics we are looking at. There are 7 pis of chickens but some are so bad I guess we will guess at. The Houdan was easy and now I think we know the Booted.

Thanks for all your help everyone. My son has ADHD and it's hard to get him to work on this. He said it's like doing home work but he's learning a lot about chickens and doesn't even know it.
