POL Hybrid Pullets
At Craigievern we have a great variety of point of lay hybrid pullets available all year round. We have day old chicks arriving most months which gives us various ages available at any one time. We sell at all ages suiting every budget. Every batch is different but we usually have a good mix to choose from. We like to get our birds outside around 6/7 weeks old so they are healthier and accustomed to the Scottish climate. All birds are vaccinated prior being a day old.
