I'm looking to get a Cuckoo Maran Rooster and several Rhode Island Reds to so I can get some Speckledys, which are a cross between the Cuckoo Maran and the Rhode Island Red. My research shows them to be very docile birds that can lay 300+ eggs a year. I've heard that Speckledys have the kid-friendliness of the Marans with the hardiness of the Rhode Island Reds. Does anyone have any thoughts on Speckledys?
