Pros: Lovley dark coloured eggs. good free rangers, egg laying
Cons: timid
I got my two off a woman who was getting rid of all hers, she didnt charge me much as she was in desperate need for them to go. They were both very confident towards the other hens, they layed very quickly after arriving and one went broody and sat on 26 eggs!!, the year after she toned it down and sat on 8. They were both timid and hard to catch. They are both dead now, one killed by a stoat and the other found dead on her back in the field, I miss having this breed in the flock and am looking forward to bringing it back in next year.
