Bluebell Hybrid Point of lay Hen

£25.00

The Bluebell is one of the larger hybrid hens and is a cross (usually) between Blue Marans and Rhode Island Red which produces grey-blue feathered bodies, dark neck feathers and dark legs.

Bluebells are good starter hens for new chicken keepers as they are docile and trouble-free. They are great for free-ranging but can adapt if they have to be confined. As well as this they are good egg layers often laying 5-6 eggs a week. They are known for their friendliness and love of foraging, as a hybrid they rarely become broody.
