    Chicken Breed Focus - Euskal Oiloa (Marraduna Basque)

    I just hatched 3 EOs. They were extras with other eggs I ordered. I didnt know anything about the breed until I connected with another chicken lady. Then I started reading about the breed. These 3 chicks are going to live with her and I have ordered more hatching eggs for me!
