I think it's about time to cull out my Mille Fleur Leghorn pen. These are F3s and I think I've made some good headway on tail angle on the roos. I've got way too many roosters and hens, now need to pair divide up the pen. BUT it's really hard doing it by myself. Wish I had extra pair of eyes...

EXCITING!!!

AH yes, and as I said after seeing how the sandhill grew out, I decided not to use any as they were lacking type! Thanks I just posted limited release auctions on BYC & rare breeds

Quote: Thanks that means a lot. What would you recommend for the next steps. Should I just hatch from what, I think turns out the best, and work with them for a few years and then introduce white rocks for conformation or do something sooner? I rally respect your opinion thanks so much

Looking for a couple BIG white leghorn hens. As you know I'm breeding the mille fleur variety and need to improve weight and type. I'm in California but would be willing to have them shipped. Does anyone know who I should contact? THANKS SO MUCH!

Thanks so much all. I'm having fun with them! A long ways to go - any advice out there?

A few pics from the Mille Fleur Leghorn pen. I'm really hoping I have a few to work with. Out of 60 chicks I only have 11 that have yellow legs. Tail is good in a few, but these are still pretty young. 3 1/2 - 5 1/2 months. Thanks for looking
