Today, we are highlighting the Cotentin hen, a small black hen with a very special history! In the past, it was found on almost all the farms of the Cotentin, but after the Second World War, it almost disappeared. Fortunately, in the 2000s, breeders decided to save it. Today, this hen is gradually making a comeback in farms and keeps its original name, inspired by Barneville, a pretty coastal town in the Cotentin.
