Chickens from Africa

[Joseph Currey]

Hi all,
I've been keeping chickens for a few years and started out with a mixed flock. Where I live there are some immigrants from Africa, some of whom work where I do. When I told one for them about my chickens, he offered to get me some chicks from a special breed he has. He say they are big chickens that lay big eggs and are very colorful with spots and stripes. Has anyone heard of this breed? I'll send pictures of the chicks when I get them and maybe also I'll be able to get pictures of the adult birds he has.
