The name of the breed of curia La Flash from French is translated as an arrow. The origin of this breed is not known for certain, but it is safe to say that these chickens have been bred for a very long time (since the 15th century).
Experts say they are descended from Norman krevkerskogo chickens and black Spanish. There is evidence that in the old days, they were considered warlock birds and burned at the stake, along with the witches.
La Flush refers to the egg ornamental breed. They are very impulsive and temperamental, with excellent health. Totally unpretentious in food. The meat of this bird has an exquisite taste.
When breeding individuals of this species, the breeders selected the best material, and as a result we have a breed that is very popular among many fans of exotic bird species.
Breed description La Flash
In the process of painstaking work, French breeders developed an amazing breed of hens, which is rather rare, representatives of this family have a beautiful, distinctive red comb, resembling the letter V.
The comb is somewhat similar to the horns, and therefore sometimes this rock is called "devil's" or "Lucifer".
This category is demanding that The feed had a high content of various trace elements and vitamins.. If this is not done, then the bird's feathers will deteriorate, and this in turn will affect the health of the individual.
Having seen such beauty, you fall in love with it at one glance, and you already catch yourself thinking that I would like to have the same one.
Some bird breeders have very rare colors of this variety, namely white and blue. But still the predominant color of this category is black.
An adult chicken can reach a weight of up to 3 kg, and a rooster grows to 4.5. The landing of the body of adult birds is fairly straight, the legs are long and muscular, the size of the body is medium. On the crown there are small, narrow feathers that form a kind of tuft.
In hens, the comb is much smaller than that of the rooster. The beak is not large, one can say of medium length, it has a bulge, and the nasal openings are perfectly expressed.
The black plumage is like the mantle of the devil himself, the red head and the same color of the “earrings” of the rooster are amazingly beautifully combined together. White ears are surprisingly large and expressive, and this gives a special piquancy to the appearance.
The cylindrical shape of a long body is held confidently enough. The rich tail plumage surprises with its beauty even true connoisseurs and connoisseurs.
Yerevan breed of chickens - not the most popular in our time. This breed has an average in all.The tail looks large, the feathers on it are large, and they are located at an angle of 40-45C. Beautiful, long legs complete the magnificent image of a bird.
If you compare a chicken with a rooster, then its appearance loses a bit. It is much smaller, the neck is small, the tail is poor and unremarkable. Earrings are almost invisible.
The colors inherent in this type of chickens:
- Issine - black, single colored plumage;
- White - Plumage is pure white; beak is flesh-colored;
- Kukushechny color - the cock is darker, the chicken is a little lighter;
- Blue Andalusian - plumage of blue color with a dark border, gray paws. Roosters of this suit are darker.
In this group there are dwarf rocks. Rooster weighs about a kilogram, and the hen and even less than -800 grams. Dwarfs should be completely identical to birds of normal size.
Features
The main distinctive feature of this breed is that the bird is able to fly well, its character is quite active and energetic. Trust in the owner with great care.
Egg production at a high level - up to 180 pieces per year. Eggs are white, large, weighing 60 - 65 grams. Based on the foregoing, it can be concluded that the maintenance of these chickens can be not only a hobby, but also bring significant income to the family budget.
In order to breed La Flush, no special conditions are required, the only wish for beginners is arrangement of high and covered enclosures. The explanation for this is simple - the bird loves to fly.
Representatives of this family get along well with other breeds, do not conflict with them, do not behave aggressively. When they sit on eggs, they do not cluck too loudly and at the same time are not noticed by manifestations of hostility towards individuals of other species.
They must be fed with a mixture of corn and wheat, to which protein concentrates must be added. In this case, do not forget to take into account the age of the chicken.
If you have the opportunity to graze, be sure to take advantage of this, the birds will be grateful to you, seeing the green grass of the hen will run to it with all its feet. That is why experts recommend adding to the feed as much greens as possible.

Cultivation and care subtleties
In order to grow good offspring, it is necessary to take into account the conditions of the young. It is mandatory to prepare the chicken coop, to make sure that the floor is insulated, and to arrange places for laying eggs.
Chickens should be in a lighted and well-ventilated area most of the time. To achieve outstanding results in breeding, it is necessary to carefully select the breeding bird.
If the chicken or rooster does not meet the established standards, then you need to reject. With a large herd it is easy to do. The nursing instinct in chickens is not well developed.. The rooster takes care of the hen, sometimes it can even sit on the nest!
Chicks to grow is not difficult, but it is worth noting their excessive pugnacity. Since the breed is tender, it is recommended to hatch young stock as close as possible to summer. La Flush breed loves dry soil and must have a lot of calcium in feed.
