These are absolutely some of the most beautiful chickens I have ever owned. They are a medium size breed, excellent layers and mature quickly. I plan to hatch lots of them this year too!These are absolutely some of the most beautiful chickens I have ever owned. Quite the characters, their plumage is more colourful than a casino!

The Golden Campine originated in Belgium, where it has been bred for several centuries. The name is derived from the Campine country, where these fowls are bred largely for the production of white-shelled eggs. The two Belgian breeds are Braekel and Campine, are practically the same in all points except size, the Braekel being the larger fowl.

The English, or Standard Campine of today is a composite of two Belgian varieties with the plumage of the Campine male and female identical in color patterns.

Primarily bred for egg production, Classed as a non-sitting, utility fowl, but upright carriage and attractive color marking have made Campines popular for showing purposes as well. The skin is white and the egg shells are also white.

My birds are laying very well at this time (Nov.) and I expect them to continue for some time now. So lots of fresh eggs daily.
