As most of you will know I bought 2 blackrocks and 2 light sussex over the summer as POLs 12 . 1 blackrock and the 2 light sussex are happily laying and have been sometime. The other blackrock seems somewhat...well delayed 11
She's getting there her wattles have begun to appear but it's taken months. I've attached photos of Joan (after of arc - the slow one) and Curie (Marie!) our egg machine (only one day offf since we got her)
Hi, she looks younger - she is also "gypsy faced" so not a true black rock- she will not go bright red- more of a plum/maroon colour- she stills looks a little way off laying- and with the daylight decreasing she might not lay until next spring! Having said that she looks in very good condition.

Well she was sold to me as a blackrock, but it seems all my lovely chickens are mongrels! 11 If she wasn't a blackrock what could she possibly be?
I didn't realise how much younger she was when we got them (they were meant to be all POLs), she's always bee bigger than the rest of them. She's very lovely though .
