Awesome question!
I have been wanting to know that for 3 years!
Pretty please!
Phonetically?????
I say OOh Skahl oy lo ah Probably way off... Love to hear.
So I found this thread today and got excited. I have been doing some research but getting a little confused. I would assume that the correct name for this breed is actually Euskal Oiloa, correct? If that is the case then the following are varieties of Euskal Oiloa? Beltza, Gorria, Lepasoila, Marraduna and Zilarra. Are these true breeds? Are there any documented standards? I have allot of questions but finding few answers. Maybe some of you can help with my questions as I really would like to get more info. I think if what you say is true then they would be perfect for my homestead. Below is a couple of links where I got some info. Of course it created more questions.

It states from this translation that the Marraduna Basque is a standard. I cant get alot of stuff to translate.
Dr. Fernando Orozco and his team in 1975, under a programme of localization, conservation and study of breeds of native hens that took place in the Department of Animal genetics of INIA, introduced a few typical hens of the Basque farms with different colors and selected them for pure varieties. Based on this work Dr. José Antonio Mendizábal drew up the standard of the breed.
It is a semipesada bird, simple and medium Crest, red orejillas and yellow Tarsus. It is a hardy breed of mixed ability: acceptable both in implementation and production of meat. Plumage: Moderately tight and feather rounded. Eggs: rather large, about 60 grams, and with the color Brown Shell. Weight: 3.6 kg Gallo - 2.5 Kg chicken.
Diameter of rings (in mm): Gallo 20 - chicken 18. It has 5 recognized varieties, with features equal to those described previously and differ according to the color of their feathers: Beltza: the plumage is entirely black with bluish green reflections. Gorria: they are red-orange, standing out due to its bright plumage colour. The general plumage is brown tone. Lepasoila: Devoid of feathers on the neck, shoulders, the crop area, the inside of the thighs and side areas of the abdomen. The coloration of the feathers that covers the rest of the body is the same than the Gorria variety. The skin, in the whole of the neck and part of the crop area, takes red-hot coloration. Marraduna: Gallo: the plumage of this variety is mainly characterized by the presence of white stripes intermingled with the colors described in the Gorria. Chicken: The barrado is more diffuse.Zilarra: The color of the plumage is armiñado white.

When I get more time to sit on the laptop. I'm gonna set my website up to have alot more information about the Euskal Oiloa, Marraduna Basque or really any variety in the basque family . This really needs to be done to educate more about this breed and its heritage. I would really like to have some dedicated people to help me preserve and improve this breed. Me and Ron will be starting off the new gene pool come late this fall to early spring. We've came up with a game plan to start with but will need many others to help distribute the new blood in time to keep this breed vigorous for many generations. The personality and characteristics are very unique. I know its a chicken but they're not like anything I've raised before. You just got to be around them to see what I mean. So freaking smart! So sweet! Very nosey and wanting to know what your doing. If anyone would like to help find as much information as possible to document in one location. We can start a Euskal Oiloa Community Forum ( Fan Club) so to speak or something of that matter. Let me know what you think everyone. Whether I have to do it on my own it will be done. Ive done dedicated myself to the Euskal Oiloa.

This is from my experience and I cant speak for others BUT they are the ultimate homesteaders bird. Ive got alot of breeds on my land and nothing comes close to touching this breeds foraging skills. I know that egg production is above average and muscle mass is there. My males are fast growers and at the rate they are growing I know that bulk will not be an issue. They are a true dual purpose breed in my opinion. I think this breed would compliment any persons homestead.

Just read this entire thread.
Fascinating. If I lived on a farm, I'd order some eggs for the New Years Hatch
