Minorca Chicken For Sale

Minorca Chickens were developed to be an egg laying bird. While their egg-laying has slowed since there original conception, they”re still exceptional layers. While not specifically bred to be dinner birds, you can still get a decent meal out of them. There is also a small version of the Minorcas that tends to be more popular within the show circuit.

Minorcas   for sale are known to be flighty birds that don”t generally make great pets. In addition, the males are typically fairly aggressive and can”t be kept together without fighting. This is only really with other chickens though, so don”t worry about handling them too much. They don”t particularly like being confined, so a large run would be a great for their active nature.

The Minorca has a unique physical trait that evokes plenty of stares and giggles; her earlobes are huge compared to most chicken breeds.

Large combs, wattles, and earlobes make winter-living not-so-easy. The large areas of fleshy skin exposed to the elements in winter make it difficult for the Minorca to avoid frostbite.

With large hat-like wattles that droop down over the Minorca’s face, roosters match their elegant hens perfectly. Like a high-society couple at a roaring 20’s club.

Minorcas come in black and white, but the consensus is that the fave color is the sleek-like black color variety.

Their black feathers have a luminescent look to them, and when the sun hits just right, a greenish glow shimmers across their bodies.
