Leghorn
Reviewed by Chicken Goddess

Leghorns are great egg laying chickens. They are friendly to other Leghorns and can easily fly. The only problems is that they are bad in the pecking order and they can make a mess of the yard....

I think they are both the large whites
.. I do have 1 buttercup, a bunch of polish and cochins, I think I may even have a couple sultans, slw and white ones, the rest I just don't know yet.

May those who love us, love us. And those who don't love us, may God turn their hearts; and if He doesn't turn their hearts, may He turn their ankles, so we will know them by their limping.

Yep and I think the other one, whom is camera shy, is a Welch Harlequin. wink

I have a question.... how do you brood a 'hatchery surprise?' do you have multiple brooders set up in advance? Turkeys and geese with chicks? This sounds like so much fun but I'm worried about the amount of poultry (and the variety) that you get all at once! I'd love to hear what people's plans are! I definitely want to try this next year!
