Egg giveaway

The Crèvecoeur, whose name translates to “broken heart”, are considered to be the oldest French chicken breeds. Developed in Normandy, documentation of their existence has been traced back as far as the twelfth century.

Legend has it that when the plague decimated a small town in rural France, the only living things left were the Crèvecoeur, while all the other chickens died. Their population slowly began to drop in the 20th century, taking a massive hit when German soldiers invaded Normandy and used the birds as a source of food. After World War II, they were recognized by the Livestock Conservancy as critically endangered, only bumping up to the watch list in recent years.

We have been working on our own line of Crèvecoeur here on our small family farm over the past several years. We haven’t sold a single order of hatching eggs yet and just recently decided that they are ready to share with others.

Like, comment, and share this post and we will pick a random lucky enthusiast, that wants to give this breed a try, and send them out a free dozen of Crèvecoeur hatching eggs. We will be picking the winner on Sunday April 5, 2026.

Endangered poultry giveaway

How about we giveaway a dozen of La Flèche hatching eggs too?

The La Flèche originated in a small village in France of the same name. The name “La Flèche” translates to “The Arrows”, leading many people to speculate whether the bird was named this due to the shape of its Devil Horn comb, or if it’s hard feathers were intended to be used as the fletching of an arrow.

This dual purpose breed’s meat is said to be a delicacy, no matter how old the bird is at the time of slaughter. The La Flèche were added to the American Standard of Perfection in 1874, making them one of the oldest breeds. Currently, they are labeled as “Critically Endangered” by The Livestock Conservancy.

We will pick one random winner on Sunday, April 5, 2026 to share both our Crèvecoeur and La Flèche hatching eggs. Please like, comment, and share this post to spread the word and help gain the interest of some new dedicated breeders willing to help increase the number of these unique and rare breeds.
