Mottled Houdan Chicken

 Breed Origin: 

The Mottled Houdan chicken breed is one of the oldest French breeds that was developed in the town of Houdan in the Île-de-France region during the early 19th century. It is believed to have been created by crossing local French chickens with Crevecoeur and Polish breeds. Mottled Houdan chickens were primarily bred for their meat, but also for their unique appearance and egg-laying ability. 

Uses:

Mottled Houdan chickens are considered to be a dual-purpose breed, meaning they are suitable for both meat and egg production. They are also popular as ornamental birds due to their striking and distinctive feather patterns.

Large Fowl:

Mottled Houdan chickens are a medium-sized breed of chicken. Roosters can weigh between 3.5-4.5 kg (7.7-9.9 lbs), while hens weigh around 2.5-3.5 kg (5.5-7.7 lbs).

Cockerel:

The Mottled Houdan cockerel is characterized by its black and white feather pattern, a distinctive feather crest on its head, and a well-defined V-shaped comb. They have a proud stance and are an attractive bird.

Hen colour:

The Mottled Houdan hen has the same black and white feather pattern as the cockerel, but without the crest on its head. 

Egg Colour: 

Mottled Houdan chickens lay white eggs.

Average Egg Weight: 

Mottled Houdan hens lay medium-sized eggs, averaging around 50-60 grams (1.8-2.1 oz).

Egg Quantity: 

Mottled Houdan chickens are not the most prolific egg layers, laying around 120-160 eggs per year on average. However, their unique appearance and dual-purpose nature make them a desirable addition to any flock.
