Info needed on Cubalayas

[FamilyOfChickens]

Anyone have any?

My dad says we will probably be able to get more chicks next year.

We might even build another small-ish coop, so I can have more than the three I'd be able to fit in the Ameracauna coop.

I'm so excited!!

Among some Silkies and Orpingtons, cubalayas are something we're interested in right now. We just need some more info.

First of all, how much do they go for? They seem like they'd be pretty expensive.

Where can you get them?

I've read that they're extremely tame; is that true?

How do they do with other chickens, of their breed and other breeds?

Is there anything special involved with their care and keeping?

Any other info'd be appreciated.

Thanks!

Here's a link to an article I found on Feathersite about them.

They are pretty rare, so I imagine adults are expensive and hard to find. I know Ideal Poultry sells Cubalaya chicks, but I don't know of any other hatchery that does.

newbeechickens, that's a pretty girl you've got there! Was she raised with the rirs? I was thinking that if they were, it'd be fine? $25 a pop is pretty steep; I'd think we'd only be getting one, then.

Angie, thanks for the link. So Ideal sells them as chicks? I'll have to look into that one.

Thanks!
