The Speckledy is another nice steady hybrid which is easy to handle. It has been bred over time from a Rhode Island Red crossed with a Maran. The feathering closely resembles that of a Maran but it is a far more prolific egg layer. They are large yet elegant birds with a deep breast, upward-pointing tail and pale legs.

Temperament – Friendly. Inquisitive. An exceptionally good layer. Hardy.

Eggs – They are a layer of mid brown eggs and can lay up to approximately 280 in their first year of lay.
