Black Minorca Chick

You can hear the difference before you even see them — that quick, curious peeping of a chick that means business. Black Minorca chicks arrive with the alert, active energy their Mediterranean heritage promises, growing into striking large-fowl birds with glossy black plumage and bright white earlobes that turn heads in any backyard flock. As an uncommon breed with a strong reputation for large white egg production, they reward experienced keepers and adventurous beginners alike.
