Euskal Oiloa or Basque Hens in Canada & USA
4 Month Old Marraduna Euskal Oiloa Pullet from Skeffling Lavender farm
People are talking about this wonderful breed all over North America. Euskal Oiloa is simply Basque language for Basque Hens, the local farmhouse breed. They are an insanely friendly, hardy dual purpose chicken breed that lays lots of big eggs!
This breed is not yet in the Hendersons guide or the Storeys Book as it is relatively new to North America, and information has been hard to find. I would love to see them added to those publications at some point as there is real interest growing in this charming breed.
Enjoy and explore our site. There are lots of links here (some in Spanish) and you can ask questions in our Euskal Oiloa Chicken Forum
