[Happy Hens]

Hi all you fellow chicken lovers.

I'm just wondering if any one knows what makes up the Skyline blue egg laying hen. I know the Legbar is in it but not the rest.

Can anyone tell me please Thanks

What a mystery I thought I'd be able to help from my local supplier as they have them all it says is from the cream legbar, further looking and all the info was 'created using a mix of breeds'?? Will be interested to see what breeds...



oooh further research and a site has it as cream legbar x light sussex x Rhode island red, (from poultry mad site)

It must be a secret. I've had a quick look too and have come up with no more information than that.

Thanks guys, I know when I have asked suppliers of the skylines they all they say part of the legbar. So I think they don't know too
