I just wanted to give a head's up. I recently rehomed two breeding pairs of Crevecoeurs to a hatchery in North Texas. It's come to my attention that they're already selling eggs from these girls on eBay and using at least one photo that they found here in this thread of a bird that is not mine...

This is a photo of one Creve egg between Merlerault eggs. My Creve eggs tend to be closer to white/bone than cream. As for when they began laying, it's usually not until 9 mos that they begin decent production.

I'm in North Texas and we're starting to get eggs regularly again, but we've also had some higher than usual temperatures. I don't provide lights or heat for the birds, so we went a couple of months where we were getting 1-3 eggs a week.

That's a great weight! My boys average about that weight now. I started with them being between 4.5-5lb. You've got yourself a good start! Please keep us updated on their/your progress!

What's the weight on your cock? He looks like a big boy!

Some of my Crevecoeurs (and a couple La Fleche) today.

Wattles are large and I don't see a beard. He may be Merlerault or a cross.

Here's one of my cockerels (not my #1 male) with two girls tonight.

I'm not aware of any blue lines in the US. I may be wrong. I know Jeannette from the Livestock Conservancy just visited France and was able to see some blue Creves up close. I am very envious!!

Couldn't agree more with this statement! :goodpost:

There are many reasons why they're critical on the conservancy list, but I think one of the biggest reasons is lack of interest. There aren't many people out there actively breeding and maintaining flocks. As for pricing- because they are relatively unknown, it's difficult to gauge what their...

I would love to do an egg or chick swap.

One of my six month old cockerels. Trying to get some additional weight on him.

Is anyone breeding Crevecoeurs with red lobes? They seem to be hard to come by!

Young creveceur cockerel.

Here's one of my Ideal crevie pullets this morning. I'm very happy with the quality of the surviving birds thus far. I say surviving because I have lost some due to what seems like failure to thrive issues. The birds I have now get extra vitamins and treats to keep them healthy. So far, so good...

My Crevies are currently cooped up with some juvenile La Flèche, a bantam Cochin and two juvenile appenzellers (soon to change). The appenzellers are... Spazzes. The la flèche are mellow. The cochin is just a small duster that hangs out. Out of all of the birds, the Crevecoeurs are my most...

My girls are from Ideal, of all places. I sent a check to Urch for Creve hatching eggs (twice now). First batch didn't produce and I think the second order was too late and I missed cut-off. I'm going to keep trying. I'd like to have quality birds.

They are all pullets. I lost my only cockerel.
