From what I have read, good quality WF Black Spanish are pretty hard to find. If anyone might know...check with danhonour on here. He is the resident expect on all Spanish Breeds.
They are similar in size and stature to Minorcas and should be massive birds. I raised some hatchery stock birds 30 years ago and they were nice, big birds. They looked like I thought they should......

I have 4 WFBS Bantams, but I don't have any pics. They were pretty until my roosters comb got frostbite! They are extreemly freindly! They are one of my favorites, but I wished I had Standards! Since they are a Spanish breed I named my rooster Cortez! I thought it was fitting!

This is the best pic I could find. She is next to a BSL in this pic. She's about a year old. One of our prettier birds. We like her so much that we have a couple more ordered.

It is fitting as they are all Castillian breeds and Hernan Cortes was from the Castille region. Future roosters could be called Pizarro or Orrellana as well. Cortes....the luckiest man in all of known history....such an interesting story. But thats for another thread and another day....haha

What a beautiful bird. I have never seen one before.

The only bird I covet more than minorcas are WFBS. Can't find 'em anywhere. Been trying since before I got my first chickens last spring. Nuttin' in my area anywhere. Can't even find eggs. I think there is one hatchery that sells them, but I would prefer to hatch my own--I'd even order eggs if I could find 'em. ::sigh::

I had some. I got them from Lund Poultry. I sold them before they started to lay, but I can tell you the eggs they hatched from were jumbo size white eggs. Terry Lund is his name, and he sells in the BYC auctions at times.
