Dominant Brown D102
-The Layer Hybrid
Dominant Black D109 hens are hardworking, reliable layers that farmers love. These striking black‑feathered hens shine with a greenish glow and lay over 310 light‑brown eggs a year—strong, steady, and perfect for both backyard and commercial farms.
This hybrid comes from crossing two trusted breeds: the Rhode Island Red (parental line), known for its productivity, and the Barred Plymouth Rock (materl line), valued for its hardiness. Together, they create hens that are both resilient and highly productive, making Dominant Black D109 a dependable choice for farmers who want strong genetics and reliable egg yields.
They’re tough, easy to manage, and thrive even in free‑range systems, making them a smart choice for sustainable poultry farming. At Bare‑Land Acres, Dominant Black D109 hens are available as day‑old chicks, week‑old pullets, month‑old growers, and even ready‑to‑lay hens—giving farmers flexible options to start or expand their flocks with confidence.
