thenewchick Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Does anyone recommend where to get POL Hybrid in Fife area? I would like hens that lay white eggs and hens that lay green/blue egss. Just so it makes my eggs look different. Is it too late in the year to get these or would it be best to wait until spring? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJChick Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Hi Mags You could try the Omlet Marketplace or the Dundee Courier on Saturday past had an advert for blue egg layers (perhaps Arucanas (sp.)) If I can find the add or a link to it I will send you a PM because not sure I would be allowed to publish other people's details etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggasperated Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I ended up going just north of Aberdeen to Pegasus Poultry (http://www.pegasuspoultry.moonfruit.com) to get some Meadowsweet hybrids as I couldn't find anything suitable in Fife. Although they are lovely chickens and Angela is very nice I was disappointed to find that all Meadowsweet hens are beak trimmed (but this may change next year as I think legislation is being put in place to prevent beak trimming). I have also visited henkeepingfife and she is very nice but didn't have any hybrids when I went there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
