My Heritage Skyline was great! But a handful. She was named Foxbait, so that I would not be disappointed when (not if) she was taken. She would not be caught, would not stay inside the pen with the others (pen too big to fit roof to, it's about 20x60ft.) She would free range by herself and was rather aloof from the other hens. She started laying at about 25 weeks and then laid me an egg a day, every single day, till the fox finally got her. Ironically the fox had had it's scent picked up by the foxhounds that morning, but had been called off as it would have been illegal to hunt it and awkward to use legal means for the hunt to kill it as there were 30 very aggressive saboteurs out with the hunt, and 2 vans full of policemen. So little Foxbait got it, and the fox escaped to kill the rest of my hens about 3 weeks later.

When I replaced the dead hens I got a pair of Cream Crested legbars, which are the foundation stock for skylines. Neither of them have the same character as Foxbait, and they are a bit easier to keep in, and they still lay me beautiful eggs eveery day, one a blue one and one an olive coloured one.

I have a pair, one has a pompom but t'other doesn't (Dandelion -pale blue egg and daisy - slightly greener) they are the bottom of my pecking order and fairly small nervy chooks - but boy can they run!

They don't lay as much as some of my hybrids, when one got broody in autumn she attacked my dog (which was failry amusing in a 'worm turned' kind of way)

Sadly the fox got my bluebell and Cuckoo Marran this week, (who were older, fatter and slower) so being fast obviously works for them!

Well, obviously I spoke too soon. The one that laid the olive egg jumped out of the run last night (6ft fence!) and was eaten. The rest of the hens were inside the run, in their little houses which have auto-doors. I normally check they are all in, but I didn't feel too well last night.
