Fun Facts: The Java is the second oldest breed to be developed in America. This breed is considered Critically Endangered. Garfield Farm in Illinois has been working hard since 1990 to save this breed. Chicago's Museum of Science even hatched Java chicks, as part of their exhibit on genetics, to help Garfield's Java numbers grow faster!
