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 heard of birds being 6 yrs old and still laying (obviously apart from when they are moulting) Back to top Bradders Joined: 13 Aug 2007 Posts: 905 Location: North Cornwall for the summer Holidays Posted: Wed Aug 06, 2008 3:24 pm    Post subject: All spana's speckledys are nearly all dead but she's going to buy some more Black Rocks and Speckledys when all her chickens die.
