Cubalayas come in various colors but the black breasted red is
the most common rooster color and the wheaten the most common hen color. They
produce great quality meat and they lay tinted eggs (cream colored eggs). The
cubalaya rooster is distinguished by not having any spurs, which means that
two roosters fighting for dominance can't hurt eachother as bad. They are very
friendly birds infact chics have been known to purch and eat out of peoples
hands shortly after they hatched.
The Cubalaya is on the threatened list on the
American
Livestock Breeds Conservancy list
