April Chicks - La Maison de la Rivière

For its eighth edition, the Poussins d'Avril exhibition, in collaboration with ProSpecieRara, is bringing spring to life. Unique Swiss animals with unexpected talents and tender moments await young and old alike for a lively immersion into the heart of our animal heritage.

When you hear the word “hen,” you might think of a pretty white egg-layer
at the bottom of the garden. But have you ever met a crested hen
or a bearded hen? Yes, they exist, and they are Swiss!

Get ready to open your eyes wide: here, the animals we think we know
reveal their most surprising secrets.
