The Spanish or White-faced Black Spanish, Spanish: Cara Blanca or Española Cara Blanca, is a breed of domestic chicken which originated in Spain, but was largely bred to its present type in Great Britain in the eighteenth century.
[1] This breed was admitted into the American Poultry Association in 1874.
[2] They have glossy black plumage and are closely related to the Minorca and Castellana Negra breeds.
Their most distinguishing feature are their white, low-hanging ear-lobes, which are actually overdeveloped.
Hens are non-sitters, and lay 160–180 white eggs per year, with a weight of about 80 g.[1]
