Campine (pronounced Kampeen) I just call them Candy females, and Roo for the roo(I know how original)

Campine - PoultryPages
The Campine originated in Belgium, where it has been bred for several centuries.
The name is derived from the Campine country, where these fowls are bred ...

I pronounce it "KAM-pin" which may not be the way it was intended to be pronounced but would be the way it would be done with regular English pronunciation of any word spelled that way, being the walking dictionary my DH seems to think I am.

I pronounce it like it has two 'P's (lol) Camp-pine.

I always said cam(like in a car) pine(like the tree), but copied above from a website thinking OK wrong again... nothing new here, but if everyone else isnt gonna change I am gonna continue calling min CAM PINES

rotfl -- this is more or less what happened when I asked over on The Easy Garden how people pronounce Agastache (a flower) -- everyone has their own version <g>

Thank you all very much, I will just continue to try to avoid having to say it aloud, even tho I am thinking about getting a few. I shall just arrange purchase via email, and thereafter refer to them only as "them purty other chickens over there"

mdbucks still gets the bonus points for origin tho

Pat, still laughing

This is how I was taught as well, but ya'll need to remember, I'm a redneck Hoosier at heart. None of that fancy-schmancy pronunciation or nothin'!

I'm going to disagree and agree with everyone. And, because I'm hearing-impaired - that's easy

The British would probably like us to pronounce it kamPEEN but we may want to use the Flemish (Dutch) pronunciation since that is the language of the region in Belgium.

The Flemish people call this place Kempen. Now, we can accurately apply our English pronunciation on the name easily enough and call these chickens, kĕm`pən. Or, not.

Limburg and Antwerp provs., NE Belgium, and North Brabant prov., S Netherlands. It is a coal-mining and manufacturing area.
