Civil War Breed: Black Java Chickens

In this episode, Will joins Felicia and Jeremy at History Acres to learn about a chicken breed that was popular on farms across the United States during the Civil War era and has been on the edge of extinction for many years now. The Java is considered the 2nd oldest American chicken breed. Join us to learn the story of the Java chicken, their importance in the history of chicken breeds, the conservation efforts to save them, and why homesteads should want them today.
