Mottled Houdan
We really wanted to focus on a breed that wasn’t very common or heard of often. All while sticking with a breed that has beautiful colors and crested! So we added Mottled Houdan to the farmstead in 2023. Our parent stock is our first generation, which means we are constantly working on our stock.
These beautiful birds are very similar to Polish BUT they have speckled legs and 5 toes!
Historically they were considered a dual purpose breed. They were popular table birds known for their excellent taste. They are excellent layers of 150-230 large, white eggs a year – equaling Leghorn chickens in dry, sunny conditions – and are good winter layers
Roosters are very overzealous and require a large flock of hens and sometimes tend to be aggressive towards people
Mottled Houdan are slowly becoming more repopulated every year and have already gone from “Critical” status to “Threatened” status
