Crevecoeurs

6 weeks old, attentive and adorableWe got a Crevecoeur as a surprise chick with our Rhode Island Reds and Buff Orpingtons.
This little guy (pretty sure it's a rooster from behavior at 6 weeks) is adorable, and attentive to the female chicks. He keeps a close eye on them when they're in the run, is incredibly gentle, sweet, and always makes sure everyone (including our guineas) know where the water and food are. He has so far had no conflicts or issues with our Rhode Island Red rooster chick and I am hoping that with our flock size they will both have their little groups and get along well. So far he seems to have all the Buffs and the Rhode Island Red seems to have all the RIRs. :-D

Thanks for such a sweet, fun, and adorable surprise chick. His antics keep us laughing as he holds his own with our larger chicks, including the older by two-three weeks Guinea fowl! I am definitely considering getting a few more Crevecoeurs if we need to add to the flock down the road.

Arrived dead, wrong colorI was credited for the ones which died, however of the four remaining, only two are all black, the other two are black and white. I was hoping to breed them, but that won't be the case.
