Campine Chicken Chickens Cock Poultry 1919
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1919, showcases a proud Campine Cock and his hen, a rare and historic breed of poultry originating from the Campine region of Belgium. The Campine breed, known for its distinctive blue-black plumage and elegant, slender body, has a rich history dating back to the 15th century. The Campine Cock, with his vibrant, iridescent plumage and proudly raised crest, stands confidently in the foreground, his piercing gaze fixed on the viewer. His counterpart, the Campine Hen, blends seamlessly into the background with her subtle, blue-black feathers, her alert eyes scanning the surroundings. The pair's harmonious coexistence and striking appearance make for a captivating scene. The Campine breed was once widely popular in Europe, particularly in the Low Countries, and was used for both meat and egg production. However, the breed's numbers dwindled in the 20th century due to the rise of industrialized poultry farming and the preference for more common breeds. Today, the Campine breed is considered rare and is being actively conserved by breeders and enthusiasts. This photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history and beauty of the Campine Cock and Hen, a testament to the enduring allure of these magnificent birds. With their unique appearance and historical significance, they continue to captivate and inspire those who appreciate the natural world and the stories it holds.
