The French hens have always been just that - French hens.
The Colly birds have been many different things!
Angus in 1774 wrote that they were COLLY birds
Through the years they have been
CANARY
COLOUR'D
CURLEY
CORLEY
and most recently in 1909 Austin called them CALLING birds.
We seem to have reverted to COLLY again in 1966
