Minorcas were brought to England in the 1800's from the island of Minorca in the Mediterranean off the coast of Spain. Buff Minorca chicks are buff or straw colored with some having a small brown spot on the head. They have single combs and clean, white legs and feet. The plumage of adult males and females is golden buff and they have large white earlobes.
