The BLACK ROCK is a sex-linked Hybrid bred from two specific strains of natural breeds of birds, the Rhode Island Red (male linBlack Rockse) and Barred Plymouth Rock.  Their thick rich plumage protects them from weather conditions.  This together with their highly developed natural immune system means they have the potential to have a long productive life.  Being very docile they are not easily stressed and as a result do not need de-beaking.  They produce 280+ eggs in the first year of life and lay persistently well throughout their life.  It is indeed the ideal free-range layer. It loves the outside.

Colour of Egg: Tinted/Brown
