My Braden Buckeyes are docile but seem to mate more frequent. Not that I'm opposed to keeping fertility up but the girls dont much care for it.

I posted on this forum about EO's a year or so ago and got some comments that they were a mixed breed. Aren't all chickens?
There wasn't much positive interest. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=205119
I am glad you are getting the word out there, they are super chickens and hardy to boot!

They're very hardy birds! I never imagined a bird to be so full rounded in all aspects. It just blows my mind how much they stand out from every other bird I have. If anyone knows me, they know I never play favorites with anything. But this breed as got me wrapped around its finger.
All birds are mixed and Euskal Oiloas have standards. Ill repost this article again so people can see it if they missed it.
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.
