Valley Hatchery is excited to offer Mottled Houdan chicks, a unique and charming breed hailing from the town of Houdan in France. These birds are known for their fifth toe and large crested feather head, giving them a distinctive appearance. They are gentle and docile, making them great pets as well as show birds. The Mottled Houdan is a dual purpose breed, suitable for both egg production and exhibition. They lay a moderate number of small to medium white eggs per year, and are known to go broody. With roosters weighing in at around 8lbs and hens at 6.5lbs, these birds are of moderate size. Originally from France, the Mottled Houdan breed is recognized by the APA and is shown in the Continental Class. Please note that there is a low percentage of Mottled Houdans with cross beaks, despite efforts to breed this trait out. If you’re looking for a unique and gentle addition to your flock, consider the Mottled Houdan from Valley Hatchery.
