Hedgerow Goldilocks Breed Description
The Hedgerow Goldilocks is a new version of a hybrid that we haven’t stocked before. We are now delighted to offer some for sale. She is a commercial quality hybrid which comes from a Brown Leghorn and Sussex recipe. She is more golden round the neck than the Brown Leghorn in her genetics hence her fetching name. We have not got adult birds yet so the gallery picture is a picture of a grower. The other Goldilocks picture in the gallery is a hen balanced on my hand. I wanted to show the colouring of her back feathers. When she grows up she will be rather good looking we reckon. A hen changes quite a bit from their grower colouring. The adult hen is going to be more golden still.
Goldilocks Breed Temperament
The Sussex in her makeup will tone down the liveliness of the Leghorn so this Goldilocks is a rather more mellow bird in comparison with a standard Leghorn.
Breed Size
Our Hedgerow Goldilocks is classified as a large fowl – light. She looks more like a Leghorn shape rather than a Sussex shape.
Eggs
A Hedgerow Goldilocks is expected to lay 280-300 cream eggs in her first laying year. The Leghorn in her will drive egg numbers for sure so she certainly won’t disappoint in egg laying terms.
