About the Speckledy
The Speckledy's signature look is cuckoo-barred plumage inherited from its Maran parent — soft, abundant feathering banded in irregular grey, ranging from dark slate to pale silver across the bird. A hybrid of a Maran and a Rhode Island Red, she pairs that Maran appearance with far heavier laying: 250–270 richly dark chestnut-brown eggs a year, usually speckled and on famously strong shells. Docile and a keen forager, she's a hard-working garden hen.
