silly question i have......

[Queen Scoot]

when i was growing up we had a breed of chicken my father called a top notch..... has anyone heard of this breed? or is it a slang term for another? they were awesome layers and would love to get me some.
TIA

They were probably a hatchery strain of some type of production bird. Many hatcheries did, and still do, give production strains a proprietary name.
"Top Notch" is not the name of any recognized breed.

Were they large or bantam sized?

Sounds like Polish chickens.
