About Kraienkopp ChickensKraienkopp


The Kraienkopp, known as Twents Hoen in Dutch, emerges from the misty borderlands between Germany and the Netherlands, a testament to the harmonious blending of cultures and landscapes. Born of meticulous breeding endeavors in the late nineteenth century, these noble fowl bear the genetic imprints of local chickens interwoven with the resilience of Malays and the elegance of Silver Duckwing Leghorns.

Their debut on the Dutch stage in 1920 marked the beginning of a storied journey, later captivating the hearts of German enthusiasts in 1925. Despite their illustrious past, Kraienkopps stand today as rare treasures, revered for their dual prowess as both prodigious layers and captivating showbirds. Hens grace the homestead with a ge ...

About La Fleche ChickensLa Fleche


La Fleche (which is French for the “the Arrow”) chickens have the nickname of “the Devil Bird” because they have a large red V comb that looks like the classic red horns associated with the Devil.  

La Fleche chickens are a dual purpose bird. They lay three large, extra-large, white eggs a week from March to October averaging 180 per annum. However, La Fleches stand out as a meat foul. They seemingly distribute their fat to create an enviable juiciness in all parts of the carcass. La Fleche chicks grow slowly but make up for it in flavor and in their high dressed ratio (dressed weight/live weight) at butchering time.  

La Fleche chickens will adapt to confinement but prefer foraging over roosti ...

About Lakenvelder ChickensLakenvelder


Lakenvelder chickens originate from the Middle East and are bred primarily for egg production. The hens lay three medium, porcelain white eggs as week. They are an active breed and they have little time for brooding and they will seldom sit in a nest. They enjoy foraging and will cover a large area if allowed to do so. With adequate space they gather most of their own food. They have delicious, white meat, albeit, minimal in quantity.

Lakenvelders adapts well to their environment. Their origins from the Middle East might lead one to assume that Lakenvelders could only survive in warmer climates. However, they have thrived in Europe for decades and adapt to a wide range of weather.

Lakenvelder chickens have man ...

About Langshan ChickensLangshan


Langshan hens lay three medium to large brown eggs a week. They lay into the winter months and usually average 150 eggs per annum. Langshans mature slowly as layers and meat producers. At twenty four weeks they dress out at seven pounds. They produce a good quality meat, but their shape lends itself more to a roaster than a fryer. Langshans can easily clear a six foot fence. They tolerate extremes in temperature from 100 degrees Fahrenheit to subzero.  

Langshans often surprise first-time owners. For a large fowl they prove quite active. Fortunately, Langshans also possess a docile, calm, and friendly disposition. They tame easily and live long. Langsshans make a good family pet. The adaptable Langshan takes to forag ...

About Legbars ChickensLegbars


Legbars were the second autosexing chickens (Autosexing is when day old chicks can be sexed by their different appearances when they have hatched) that were ever created. They were developed at Cambridge University in England.  

The Gold Legbar variety was first developed and was developed from a brown Leghorn rooster and Barred Plymouth Rock Hens, both from utility strains which were used in the first mating. The second mating took two of the male offspring, mating them with brown Leghorn hens. After producing many hundreds of chicks, selection was performed and then these birds were mated and from their offspring, light colored males with two barring genes were kept together with the Creem colored females. Silver L ...

About Lincolnshire Buff ChickensLincolnshire Buff


Lincolnshire Buff chickens were bred in significant numbers on Lincolnshire farms to supply the London markets between the 1850’s and early 1900’s. The start of this trade coincides with the development of the railway network that linked the small market towns with the capital and its opportunities for business. Lincolnshire Buffs were a fast growing, hardy bird that had excellent table qualities. At the time, buff was a popular color for table birds since they provided white table birds that when plucked left a clean carcass without leaving dark feather stubs.

  During the 1850’s, Dorking chickens were common on most farms and it is thought that Lincolnshire Buffs were created from crosses between the recently impor ...

About Livorno ChickensLivorno


The breed Livorno or “Italian chicken” is known as “Leghorn” all over the world. The origin is not so clear, probably from Central Italy, obtained from the selection of light chicken reared in Tuscany countryside. The name comes from the harbour from which, in 1828, some flocks have been sent to North America. (In the world there are many stocks of Leghorn: Italian L., Dutch L., English L., Danish L., German Italiener, American L., Canadian L.)

In 1874 was added to the American Standard of Perfection in its white, black and brown livery. The white specimen was most of all selected as layer. Later on, the Leghorn came back to Europe from America, landing at U.K. in 1870 and back to Italy again. In England they still have ...
