For centuries the White Faced Black
Spanish fowls have been bred in Eng
land and Holland, and the historians
OF poultrydom pronounce them one of
the Oldest varieties in existence. They
are descendent from the Castilfan
fowls OF Spain, from which also the
Minorcas were developed.
The Black Spanish are heavy layers

development Of Leghorns. were one of
the most popular utility varieties oY
