Black Breasted Red Cubalaya Chicks

Purely Poultry is excited to offer the Black Breasted Red Cubalaya Bantam Chickens, a breed that combines striking beauty with rich historical roots. Known for their elegant appearance, these bantams feature vibrant red and black plumage, along with distinctive pea combs and gracefully low-carried tails that set them apart from most other breeds. Recognized by the American Poultry Standard of Perfection since 1960, these bantams are a favorite among poultry enthusiasts for both their ornamental value and exhibition-worthy traits.

One of the most unique characteristics of the Black Breasted Red Cubalaya Bantams is their downward-angled tail, giving them a sleek and regal silhouette. Roosters in this breed are especially remarkable, often lacking spurs and instead displaying small rounded nubs. Their compact size—roosters weighing around 26 ounces and hens around 22 ounces—makes them a delightful addition to any backyard flock, particularly for those who appreciate the charm of bantams.

These bantams are well-suited to warmer climates, thriving in hot and humid environments where they can actively forage and explore. Known for their lively and curious nature, they excel in free-range settings, making them ideal for poultry keepers who want birds that love to roam. However, they can be quite vocal, so if you live close to neighbors, it’s something to consider.

The hens of this breed are exceptional mothers, known for their protective instincts and dedication to raising their young. While they may show some dominance toward chickens of other breeds, they are gentle and friendly with people, making them an affectionate and enjoyable part of any flock.

Choosing Black Breasted Red Cubalaya Bantam Chickens from Purely Poultry means embracing a breed with a storied heritage. Originating from Cuba, these birds were officially recognized in 1939 and have continued to captivate poultry enthusiasts since their debut at the International Poultry Show in Cleveland, Ohio. With their unique history and standout appearance, they’re a must-have for anyone interested in rare and distinctive breeds.
