After having a mixed flock of different breeds I chose the BA's to be my breeder flock. I could find no fault with these birds other than it seems everybody likes flashier colored birds more. BA's are solid black with an irridesant green sheen that is beautiful in the sunlight. They are by far the friendliest of my flock. They are good with confinement and also love to free-range. When they are out, they put themselves to bed in the coop everynight at dusk. They are a dual purpose bird for meat or eggs. What more could you ask for in a backyard chicken?
