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....

Heehee. Yep, they match their fancy towel--I got some classy birdies!

They grow so fast! I can't believe it, only 6 days old and their pin feathers on their wings are starting to fluff out.

I wish they would learn to roost, they keep getting dirty behinds from sleeping on the floor. Are they picky about where/how they roost? Right now we've just got a 1/4" stick about an inch off the floor; I figured they are tiny and can't hop up much more than that. Maybe I should move it, or do they like a special kind of stick?

I don't know about what they would 'like' as far as roost goes. Honestly, my chicks do not have a place to roost, but they are on about 2" thick pine shavings and not a one has had a dirty behind in the 2 weeks I have had them. I also have 7 week olds, and some like to roost and some prefer to snuggle down into the shavings.
