Andalusian

Developed in the Andalucia, Spain, Andalusians are closely feathered, active and good layers of large white eggs. Blues (laced) is the only variety accepted by the ADA, but when two blues are crossed, 25% with by black and 25% will be white. (Incidentally, Mendle used these birds in his genetic experiments, thanks to whichwe know things like two brown eyed people can have blue eyed children, but two blue eyed people cannot have brown eyed children!) This breed is exceedingly rare!
