I have a couple of Barbezieux, which are sometimes described as basically tall Minorcas. Got them as hatching eggs from Hay on Wye last September, and the pullet started laying in Feb, so hardy enough to grow through last Welsh winter with no issues. Not flighty. Eggs have settled down now to a regular medium sized; she started with a lot of double yolkers, 90+ grams, also with no issues. The cockerel is enormous, but very well behaved, so far!
