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. It is an older breed than the Minorca. It is distributed throughout the world, but is rare in Spain.
This breed was admitted into the American Poultry Association in 1874.
They have glossy black plumage and are closely related to the Minorca and Castilian breeds. Their most distinguishing feature are their white, low hanging ear lobes, which are actually overdeveloped. They have a single comb, four toes, and no crest.
Hens are non-sitters, and lay 160–180 white eggs per year, with a weight of about 80 g.
