It took almost 30 years for the recovery of this breed to begin. In the 1980s, several Pita Pintas were found in the Spanish province of Léon, the neighboring province of Asturias. These birds were used to bring back the population of these wonderful birds. You could find them at poultry shows for the first time in 1997 and then in 2003, an Asturian breeder’s association was founded to preserve, promote, and improve the breed. Their unique name comes from the Asturian language. ‘Pita’ means ‘hen’, and ‘pinta’ means ‘painted’. The name refers to their mottled or spotted pattern.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Pita Pinta is represented in four color varieties, and at Greenfire Farms we imported the two most flamboyant of those varieties, the black mottled (Pinta Negra) and red mottled (Pinta Roxa).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThey are considered to be dual purpose, with hens laying an abundance of eggs, roughly 250 eggs per year, so about 5 eggs per week. Roosters normally weigh in at a hefty 7 to 9 pounds and hens at about 5 to 6 pounds. This breed will reach maturity between 6 and 8 months of age.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Greenfire Farms","offers":[{"title":"Black Mottled Pita Pinta Asturiana Day-Old Chick Unsexed
