| Cubalaya |
Cubalayas are a gorgeous breed with long, lustrous tail feathers kept mainly in Cuba but originating in the East (probably the Phillipines). In North America Cubalayas are rare and enjoyed only as an ornamental breed - but these chickens are said to produce prime white meat, with hens that can lay fairly well.
