A selection of chicken that run about loose in the day, and sleep together in their purpose built shed at night. As spring progresses, they will be split into their breeding trios or pairs so that the traditionl breeds that we keep can be kept pure. Black Rock are a commercial hybrid, bred for their high egg laying ability and the fact that chicks can be sexed at a day old.
In the photo are:
