Great Chicken Breed: ISA Brown
The ISA Brown is a hybrid type of chicken. It is thought to have been the result of many series of crosses including but not limited to Rhode Island Reds and Rhode Island Whites, and contains genes from many breeds, the list of which is a closely guarded secret by the company that developed the breed. The ISA Brown has beautiful, amber hued plumage, soft red combs and sparkling copper eyes.
ISA stands for Institut de Sélection Animale, the French company which developed the hybrid in 1978 for egg production. In 1997, the ISA Group merged with Merck & Co., forming Hubbard ISA, so the hybrid is sometimes called Hubbard Isa Brown. In 2005, Institut de Sélection Animale (ISA) and Hendrix Poultry Breeders (HPB) merged in ISA B.V., which also became part of the multi-species breeding company, Hendrix Genetics. In March 2005, Hubbard was purchased from Merial Ltd by Group Grimaud La Corbiere, SA
This chicken breed is a well-known choice for backyard chicken coop keepers and farmers alike, and they are a renowned favourite for a bunch of reasons. They adapt well to almost any climate, are not affected by the cold and don’t require any fancy grooming to flourish. The ISA Brown has a gentle nature, is resilient and has egg laying ability that is known to provide up to 300 eggs per year leaving all other chicken breeds to shame. The ISA Brown is great for families with kids as they like to be cuddled and touched.
