Mottled Java Chicken

Mottled Javas came to the United States from the Far East and are named after the Island of Java.  Javas played a role in the development of the Jersey Giant, The Rhode Island Red, and the Plymouth Rock.  They were a very popular dual-purpose brown egg breed during the 19th Century. Mottled Java chicks are some of the most unique of all chicks with a distinct mottled color pattern.
