The Java is the second oldest chicken breed developed in the early 19th century from birds of Asian origin. Despite the name, it was refined in the United States and served as the cornerstone foundation for popular breeds like Rhode Island, red Plymouth Rock, and Jersey Giants. Dual purpose excellent for homesteads. Producing both meat and up to 180 large brown eggs per year. Continuing throughout the winter. They're heavy, sturdy rectangular bodies with long backs.
Roosters reach about 9.5 lb and hens about 7.5 lb. They are known for being exceptionally calm, docile, cold hardy and stellar free range foragers. The Javas nearly went extinct in the late 20th century as commercial hatcheries favored faster growing industrial broilers thanks to targeted preservation efforts by Illinois Garfield farm museum and heritage breeders like Teresa penhall in Klamath Falls, Oregon. The population has slowly recovered though it remains on the conservations watch list due to load breathing numbers.
My roosters have thrown white Auburn mottled and recently lavender. We got them from the Garfield museum several years ago and have continued to breed them.
I will have breeding pairs available in about 1 month. The pair will be $50. We can add an extra hint for $25 if you would like to have two hens and one rooster.
