Breda Fowl

Breda Fowl are a Dutch breed also known as Kraaikop which means crow’s head. They have an upright posture, and a wide prominent chest. They have cavernous nostrils without a comb so they look like their prehistoric ancestors. They have a gentle,  friendly nature and are easy to maintain. They should be housed with docile and calm roommates as they are rather timid.  Males weigh about 6 pounds and hens weigh about 5 pounds.  We added ours to the farm in 2020 and we are glad we did!  This breed is great for Canadian winters with their warm feet and absence of a comb. These elegant birds are great foragers but they do like to hang out inside often I find.  They come in blue, black and splash.

Nature: Friendly, calm, timid, watchful

Egg Color:  white or off-white

Eggs per year: 200

Winter Hardy: No comb and they love being outside during the winter.
