CAMPINE. 
The Campine is a breed which originated in Belgium and has 
found a good deal of favor there as an egg breed. It is only re¬ 
cently that this breed has attracted attention in the United States, 
but it has gained favor rapidly and at (he present time is enjoying 
a considerable measure of popularity. 
In its general characteristics the Campine is very much like the 
Leghorn. It is a comparatively small breed, very alert and active, 
and of a nervous temperament. These fowls should be rather deep 
and long bodied and should be well rounded. The Campine female 
has, if anything, a longer back than the Leghorn female. Both va¬ 
rieties of Campines are single combed, the shape of the comb being 
the same as that of the Leghorn in both sexes. The standard weights 
are: Cock. (> pounds: hen. I pounds; cockerel. 5 pounds; pullet, 3^- 
pounds.
