Are you going to let her sit then? If yes, what are you going to put under her?

Are speckledies a hybrid like a warren? or a pure breed?

Would like to hear from anyone keeping Speckledys about how long they lay for and if they would be easy for first-time chicken keepers - and anything else about them. A friend is getting some as day-olds and is hoping to interest us in taking some when they've brought them onto POL - was planning to get Black Rocks on the hybrid side - and otherwise some pure breeds - but wondered how Speckledys compare.

I have 6 speckledys and they are really tame and lay lots and lots of eggs, only 18mths old yet so dont know how long they will lay for. I have heard of birds being 6 yrs old and still laying (obviously apart from when they are moulting)
