Andalusian (chicken)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Andalusian chickens are classified as "Mediterranean" chickens, and like other breeds from this class, they're closely feathered, active, and good layers of white eggs. Although the only color pattern recognized by the American Poultry Association is Blue, when you cross two blues you will get some whites and some blacks. Because of this, they're relatively rare except amongst poultry enthusiasts and small backyard flock owners interested in preserving heritage breeds.
