Campine chicken

The Campine (French pronunciation: [kɑ̃pin] ⓘ) is a breed of domestic chicken originating in the northern part of Belgium.

[2]: 87 In its country of origin, the Campine had a reputation as an "every day layer", a reliable producer of large white eggs.

The Golden Campine was used in early research into auto-sexing in chickens by Reginald Crundall Punnett and Michael Pease at the Genetical Institute in Cambridge.

[2]: 53 [9][10][11] The hen-feathering trait in cocks of the Golden Campine has been found to be identical to that in the Sebright, a bantam breed.

[2]: 86  Although the Campine also has a degree of resemblance to the Egyptian Fayoumi, in plumage and in behavior, no genetic studies have been done linking the two breeds.
