Here is another medieval chicken for you!! This one comes from SE
Europe, with older origins even further East!!
Pliny's 'Honest Indulgence' speaks of preparing a hen of Padua,or a
Paduan Hen. It appears as though this is it!! Of course, he could be
talking about a recipe, but then he says that it might be prepared
several ways....?

<P ALIGN=CENTER>Known in England as the Poland, this is the most popular of the
crested breeds. It is also one of the oldest, being known as a pure breed as early
as the sixteenth century. The Polish breed probably originated on the Continent, but
nothing is truly known about its origins.
<P ALIGN=CENTER>This ornamental, non-sitting breed lays a white-shelled egg. Its most
prominent feature is the crest of feathers on the head. Note the more "umbrella-like"
crest on the males and the powder-puff shape on the hens. It also has the large nostrils
typical of crested breeds and a small V-comb. Many varieties occur, including White
Crested Black, White, Golden, Silver, and Buff-laced. These can be either
bearded or non-bearded.
<P ALIGN=CENTER>Polish cocks weigh in at 6 pounds, while the hens only reach 4 1/2
pounds.
