Breed guide
Campine
Also known as: Silver Campine, Golden Campine, Kempisch Hoen
Old Belgian breed with hackle-only ground color and barred body plumage; the roosters are hen-feathered in traditional strains. They are small, quick birds that lay white eggs, and the breed is rare now.
Keeper's notes
Loves to range and flies well, so fence high. A dry coop carries them through a mild winter. Watch the single comb when it freezes.
