Does anyone know where I can purchase a Padovana chicken or egg that is fertile I can hatch. My family is from Northern Italy and I would love to replace a beloved chicken that passed away with one of these. I live in Texas.

Sorry to jump into an old thread, but here's what I learned about them.

As to Padovana, Olandese, and Polish, it gets interesting (or complex);.
The Italians differentiate two breeds, Olandese and Padovana. They think Olandese may be derived from Padovana, which in turn probably came from Poland. In the US and the UK, those two are bearded and non bearded Polish. (Olandese is beardless). It appears the French standard also considers them to be different breeds.
To make it more confusing, the Italians also list a third breed, Padovana Riccia, with the very fluffy plumage. I'm not sure if that is the same as a Frizzle. The Padovana and Padovana Ricca are considered Italian breeds, the Olandese to be a Dutch breed.
