Hybrids are a combination of pure breeds, bred together for a
specific purpose, whether that be for disease resistance, egg laying qualities,
egg colour or all round good looks! They
are ideal for a few hens in the garden and/or for free range conditions,
certain breeds are also well known for their excellent egg laying qualities.
They tend to be disease resistant, and most are very friendly and make super
pets (see below for more information) once they have settled into their new
home.
All
hybrid pullets are available from 16 weeks old and are fully vaccinated.
