Columbian Blacktails

The Columbian Blacktails are yet again a hybrid chicken which are not only friendly and docile, they are also a great layer, as they lay approximately 300 eggs in their first year. Blacktail have been specially bred from a Rhode Island Red (Farther) and a hybrid Light Sussex (Mother), which has been bred from two strains of Light Sussex.

They are a chestnut brown in colour with black highlights on their wings and tail feathers and lay a "good sized egg" and a strong shell similar to that of a Warren or Blackrock.

This hen would make an excellent addition to your family.
