Skin color
editI'd like to see a citation for the skin color "slate-grey". It conflicts with other acticles I've read which state the chicken has a white skin, Krnntp (talk) 22:55, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
- You can see in the picture that the skin is a dark blue-gray, and the Ekarius book says the same. If you have a contradicting source that meets our standards of reliability, please present it. In the meantime, I've cited the statement directly. VanTucky 02:03, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, the legs are slate-grey. However, in chicken terminology, the term skin color (under the plumage) is different from leg color (on the legs and feet). It is almost unheard of for a chicken's skin to be any color other than white (ie, pink) or golden (yellow looking). The only exception I know of is the silkie, whose black or grey looking skin is the result of an extraordinary mutation which gives these chickens black flesh. Since commenting on this article I have consulted with an actual owner of several crevecoeurs, who confirmed that the skin of the birds (if you look under their feathers) is white. I'll see if I can find the articles I mentioned before: Krnntp (talk) 22:16, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
- I looked back at Ekarius, b/c I thought I had looked in it earlier this year and seen no mention of black / grey skin, and confirmed that the source does not talk about "skin color" but rather about leg color (p.116), shanks' and toes' color (p.117). Have changed the wikipedia article Crèvecœur replacing "skin color" with "leg color". Best - Krnntp (talk) 22:37, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
