Squatlobster Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Can anyone tell me anything about my supa-chicks, which are Highlines, I believe? This breed is not mentioned in the Omlet list. I presume they are some kind of hybrid, built for laying. I bought them in Fife, for £7 each. Is that an average price? Thank you very much.

mrsm_jones Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 A quick Google only reveals that they are brown laying hens. Presume you knew that already! Where in Fife did you get them? I'm in Aberdeen and looking for new places! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squatlobster Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 Aha! Thank you. My mis-spelling explains my lack of success on Google. I got them from a fram in Newburgh, near Cupar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squatlobster Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 Just Googled correct spelling and the response confirms that, yes, they are very friendly and prolific layers. They seem to have strong characters of their own... or am I simply getting emotionally attached to them?! Recommend them anyway. And so does the local fox...
