    Leghorn Thread

    When Pepper lays eggs, they are a very light light beige tinted egg. But now even my reds are laying beige eggs when the mood hits them. I don't get the bold brown eggs we used to, they are very light, and when hard boiling them, they explode. Trust me, they get layena, extra cracked corn and...

    Needing Advice with Budgies

    Oh my I'm so sorry, I didn't see any updates on your post until after my reply posted. I'm so sorry for your loss. Budgies can pass from a broken heart, loneliness, or even a spook. Again my deepest sympathies :(

    Needing Advice with Budgies

    Hi there! I breed budgies, and you said you "think" one is a boy and the other a girl. At sexual maturity, your boy would have a deep blue nostril area called a cere. The female's cere should be anywhere from light blue with white or beige around the nostrils, a reddish brown or completely...

    Wow. And all I wanted to know was how to STOP egg production.

    4 hens total, and 2 female mallards. Hard boiled eggs are crushed with shells and yeah we mix the oyster shell with the food. Is that the issue? It looks more like a white grit than shell. I can add a small animal feeder inside the hideaway for the oyster shell. They are 1 1/2 years old. You...

    Wow. And all I wanted to know was how to STOP egg production.

    We'll, I'm back after avoiding the group for what? A good year now? Anyway, we tragically lost our beloved rooster Reggie this past summer. He jumped up on my son's shoulders, slipped off or was shaken off and broke his neck by the time he hit the ground. I carried him around and cried for...

    Leghorn?

    Yep she's a pullet. Second day egg was much larger and a perfect oval. Thank you all for verifying she truly is a leghorn and a very pretty one too.

    Leghorn?

    fine and dandy, Reggie is a leghorn rooster. It's the speckled one I am more concerned about. btw I got another layer in the run. this egg is beige tinted and only half the size of the eggs I get from the reds.

    Leghorn?

    Ok, picture time. Reggie's is a big scaredy cat and scraped up his comb so in between a couple points he has scratches or tiny cracks that were bleeding when I finally caught him. My daughter had one heck of a time catching Pepper too. My daughter was sitting outside the run eating a salad...

    Leghorn?

    Leghorn?

    I'll try to get better pictures, it's hard to do by myself, and those two are extremely flighty. and at 4 months, very small compared to my others. I've read they come in a bantam variety too. My rooster, Reggie stands up to my knee, and I know he weighs more than 6 pounds. the little girls...

    Leghorn?

    I also have two "Leghorn" pullets that I just recently purchased from a fellow Facebooker, turns out I also knew the guy from Lowe's because for the strangest reason, we have become a frequent shopper there. I should get frequent flyer miles.. anyway, from the descriptions I had been reading, my...

    Help! Orange powdery Fungus!!!!

    We just ripped off the walls inside and out and the plywood I used was from packing crates for shipping. It wasn't made to last. In fact with all the storms that came through here and the wood had been painted, it sucked up water like a sponge. But you know, none of my 2x4's were affected...

    Setting eggs today, 6-30-12...anyone else want to join in the fun???

    I lost every single one of my eggs in the bator. Including the conures and lovebird eggs. Is cleaning the eggs not good enough? Do I need to vaccinate ALL of the birds? The chicken eggs were all duds. I'm not concerned about them. But my others I am. My last sun conure egg was due to hatch...
