The Blackrock hen are very popular in Ireland because of their attractive appearance and impressive egg laying ability. They have a lovely nature and are a very confident bird that are not easily stressed. They are renowned for their hardiness and thrive in almost any conditions.
They are capable of laying 310 eggs per year. They are very low maintenance for such a highly productive bird making them perfect for both the beginner and the free range producer!
They lay large, rich brown coloured eggs and are a must if you appreciate colour in your garden or in the egg basket in your kitchen!
