You should try to google "Poule Soie", they are gorgeous beast :)

The nickname is a play on my family name ("Monchablon"), that was wrongly written on the first draft of my work contract (as "Mablochon"), which only needed a bit of a chicken-obsessed CTO to become "Mablopoule".

One handy habit I got from that CTO is to keep a folder of images of poultry to use as test images when coding/debugging an image-related form.
