Mrs Frugal Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 That's right and Miss Pepperpot is the name Omlet give to this particular hen. She's also known by different names with different breeders as she's a common hybrid. The Gingernut Ranger again is just the Omlet name for another commonly bred hybrid.

paintingbird Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 I think I now understand. As in the Jamie Oliver Program the male chicks are all gased, and only the females are raised. Shame , one of the not nice things of life. But thanks Kate and Egluntine for the information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
