As Espécies da Quinta

This native breed of chicken from Northern Portugal has a very characteristic plumage, with a mottled dark grey appearance against a white background. This chicken breed is fairly resistant to diseases and can withstand unfavourable environmental conditions. The Portuguese popular sayings “Each Pedrês Chicken is worth three” and “If you have a Pedrês Chicken, don’t kill her or give her away” are demonstrations of this breed’s value in the rural world.
