Our Hybrid hens are professionally reared to High welfare standards with a comprehensive vaccination and blood testing programme making for happy healthy hens!
We have a great variety of Hybrid Laying hens for sale fantastic for home egg production. Hybrids are the product of cross breeding pure breeds to create a super chicken that is more productive. Many of the breeds are based on the Light Sussex, Leghorn and Rhode Island Red breeds which are well known for their good laying traits. Hybrids are great if you are new to chicken keeping as they are generally very easy to care for, hardy and have docile natures as well as being very productive. We sell our hybrids from 17 weeks onwards and they usually come into lay around 22-24 weeks, so it best to get them just before this time to get them settled. They are fully vaccinated and wormed and can kept together so you can have a variation of breeds and egg colours. All birds are guaranteed for 2 weeks. Egg numbers and colours are an approximate guide only.
We have sadly had to increase our prices this year due to the ever increasing inputs required to rear hens. We hope we can still offer good value for money and can do discounts for larger orders over 8 birds.
