Buy Dark Hatch hen

A Dark Hatch hen follows the same concept as a Dark Hatch cock. It refers to a female chicken hatched from a dark-colored egg, typically dark brown or black. Just like the cock, “Dark Hatch” isn’t a specific breed but a descriptive term.

Here’s what a Dark Hatch hen entails:

• Origin: Similar to the cock, the chick hatched from a dark egg, but the parent breeds could be various, including Black Australorps, Rhode Island Reds, or even mixed breeds. Breeders may not know the exact lineage.
• Color: As a chick, it would have been dark and fluffy. Now, as a hen, its adult plumage color depends on the parent breeds. It could be black, brown, red, or even a combination of colors.
• Egg Laying: There’s no guarantee on egg laying ability or egg color with Dark Hatch hens. Egg laying is influenced by the parent breeds. star ratings stars

Here’s what to consider if you’re interested in Dark Hatch hens:

• Uncertain Lineage: Without knowing the parent breeds, it’s difficult to predict temperament, health, egg laying ability, or other characteristics.
• Focus on Breeds: If you’re looking for specific qualities like good egg laying, it’s best to choose from recognized breeds known for their production.
• Consider Ethics: While not as directly involved in cockfighting as roosters, hens are still necessary for breeding. If you’re against cockfighting (which is legal in most places), choosing a different breed altogether might be a better option.
