The Pearsons Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Does anyone have any photos of a Skyline? I've been promised one (plus a White Star) for the end of July. Helen in Hume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudgley Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 I know that a lot of crossbreeds which are bred for their high number of eggs are called hylines / goldlines. Maybe a skyline is a similar type? They are brown hens. These are our young Goldlines (15 weeks) How come I've managed to post one pic & a link to the other2? these are some previous one we had. The 2 at thefront are hylines http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v188/smudgley2/catsprotection467.jpg all these are Hylines (except the dark one) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v188/smudgley2/garden022-1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindsayp Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 There is a breed called Heritage Skyline on the Cotswold chickens site. http://www.cotswoldchickens.com/breeds.htm hope i've done the link correctly [/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Heritage Skylines are blue egg layers, but are only 70% guaranteed to do so. I've read that they are a bit skittish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Pearsons Posted June 23, 2007 Author Share Posted June 23, 2007 skittish? Well I'm sure the two Dumpies will soon manage to get her into line I heard that White Stars are flighty as well. An Irish Setter used to regard me as her human and I was told she was uncontrollable and very excitable. I was her last chance...... she lived with me for 8 years and I found her to be calm and elegant and great fun! The only time she lived up to her reputation was on the beach when she loved to chase seagulls... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starboyhull Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 I do think that animals do fall in line once they have the right setting...... Although some animals / breeds are worse than others..... Having lots of animals they have to be under control......Athough we have yet to teach the hens "into your bed"....... LOL thats gonna come in a few weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
