Speckledys

Speckledys are a Maran - Rhode Island Red cross, they are a docile chicken and very easy to handle, but classed as heavy bird. Their feathers can somewhat resemble the feathers of a Maran but their egg production is far greater. Their feathers are very unique as they can be described as "silky" and much softer than other breeds.

They are a reliable egg layer, and they produce a dark chestnut brown egg, which are usually speckled. Speckledy's are well suited to be a free range chicken, and they also enjoy foraging.

As previously mentioned, Speckledys lay a dark chestnut down egg, here is a picture of a egg from a Speckledy (on the right) next to a beige egg (on the left).
