Basque Hens, Euskal Oiloa (MYSTERY BREED !)

Quote:
Hi thanks sorry it was in Spannish yep its a shame anyway the guys just says that they conserve all spannish fowls there and that there are alot of new chicks that hatch and there are some for sale at 1 euro for 10 chicks thats right just 1 euro for some chicks its a simbolic price its realy for a paperwork reason and not to hand these chicks free and to justifie costs i think there government so they realy want is for people to promote spannish chickens wich is ok.

According to a Basque hen history I read online, The Gorria principal function is for both meat and eggs. The Naked Neck principal function is for meat; The Marraduna principal function is for eggs. Tho all the colors can do double duty for meat and eggs.

Hi HENRI,
I know you are looking for info on EO's. try this: Use the http://www.ixquick.com search engine. Put "Euskal Oiloa" in quotes and choose "Images". Lots of lovely pics there. ......Or choose "Web" . You should get about 16 pages of Internet hits. The only free on-line translator that translates Basque I know of is Google Translate. .
Go to http://www.google.com At the top of the page, click on "More". a drop-down menu will appear with "Translate" in it. Click on it.
Once the Google Translate page appears, you can do several things.
1. Choose a language to translate into English.
A. Cut and paste a URL for the page you want to translate into the box of your chosen language.
B. Cut and past a phrase or chunk of lit into the box of the language you have chosen.
C. Once you have chosen the language to be translated...Click on the teeny-tiny keyboard and type the text into the translation box.
2. Click on the "translate" icon. The machine wil translate for you. In the case of a URL, it wil translate the whole page, very cool!
3. On the right-hand edge of the Google Translate page there are a couple other icons. You can click on keys to get definitions or another key to have the computer verbally speak the translation to you.

If the Basque translation doesn't seem quite right, choose "Spanish". They are somewhat alike and after you've used the Translate several times, you'll recognize which is which.
Enjoy,
