Product Description

Available Now, Rhode Rock Hens, also known as a Miss Pepperpot are predominantly black, but often have a blaze of copper on the chest and neck area. The black feathers have a beautiful iridescent sheen to them too, so they are pretty stunning in real life. The photo's don't do them justice. They are a decent size hen, feathers look very uniform and glossy, and their temperament is steady. They are inquisitive and can be tamed easily. 

Egg colour is a mid to dark brown - adding some depth of colour to your egg box. 

You can expect approx. 290-310 eggs per year. 

Your hen may start to lay at around 18-20 weeks old, she will be laying at 50% capacity by the time she is 22 weeks old, and will be at full laying capacity at around 25 weeks old. 

Here is our list of recommended supplements available on Amazon - we strongly suggest you have a look and buy one (they are less then £10 as a rule) as the hens will sell will shortly be coming into lay, and the supplements really do help. It's stressful enough moving coops - without then having 7 kids a week... https://amzn.to/3v29tj6
