The Houdan was originally called the \'Normandy Fowl\' and was introduced to England in 1850. It is one of the oldest of the French breeds and was named after the town of Houdan. They are large, heavy looking birds, bred for the table and have a bold, active character. The head is large and crested with a short beak, leaf type comb, muffled face, small rounded wattles and earlobes. The legs are mottled black, free of feathers and like the Faverolles and Dorking, it has a fifth toe.

Behaviour

Being a heavy table bird, Cocks can weigh in at nearly 8lbs. They are calm, placid chickens and are fairly good layers of large eggs. They do tend towards broodiness but are not good sitters as they are too heavy and tend to break the eggs. They do need a special drinker as their large crest and beard get wet and dirty if they use conventional ones so require just a little water in a bowl. Houdan are extremely docile in nature and like to be handled especially if they have been raised from young. Hens make the best pets and will live 7-8 years.

Varieties

Houdans are actually only bred in a limited number of varieties, black mottled, white and lavender.

Reginald Appleyard began the development of the Ixworth breed in the village of Ixworth in Suffolk and finally finished in 1939 when the breed made its first appearance. He is the same gentleman who developed the Silver Appleyard duck. The idea was to create a breed, which was a quickly maturing table breed, which also produced a good number of eggs. He used the White Old English Game, Jubilee Indian Game, White Sussex, White Orpington and White Minorca to create this new breed and the combination has produced a fine white skinned, broad-breasted bird for the table. It is another very rare breed, which almost disappeared between 1950 and 1970 and now has a much bigger following in the Shropshire area but is still at a critical level. The plumage is always white and the birds possess a pea comb, orange to red eyes, pinky-white legs and beak. They are only slightly behind the Light Sussex in egg production and egg weight. A bantam version appeared in 1938 but has subsequently all but disappeared.

Behaviour

The Ixworth is well suited to free ranging. The male weighs around 9lbs and the female 7lbs. Hens do tend towards broodiness.

The Kulang originates from India and Pakistan and has a firm large, well muscled body. It was bred for use in cock fighting and has been for hundreds of years. It is still used today in countries where it is still legal. The males are aggressive and full of attitude, making them ideal for use in this activity. Chicks can fight when they are just a few weeks old so might need to be separated at an early age.

Behaviour

These are large, powerful birds and even the hens can fight with each other. Towards humans they are very friendly and like human contact, in fact they actively seek it. Kulangs are very trusting and tame, forming a strong bond with their keepers. The hens are not good layers, only producing around 40 white/tinted eggs per year. They do make very good brooders though and are very good mothers when the chicks hatch. They need space to free range, as confinement can bring out the aggressive tendencies. Kulangs were bred to fight and that is what they are best at. Not recommended to be kept in a mixed flock, as that could be asking for trouble.

Cocks weigh up to 8 pounds with hens around 5 1/2 pounds.

Varieties

Wheaten (black/red is the most common) Speckled, Blue, Grey, Dark red and Black.
