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 will start by saying that I love Australorps. In fact, my very favorite hen is an Australorp. She is such a sweet chicken and just let's you walk right up to her to pick her up. She doesn't run...
seem like a good breed, if i had the room i would probably raise a batch of them they seem like they would be a good 4h starter show bird...considering i dont see many of this breed in my class...
its a feed scooper it cant be perfect but over all when every thing is said an done i love mine its great its starting to show a little wear an tear but its to be expected i have had it for 4...
This is my first time with bantys,there're so cute & tiny! I seperated them from the standards,I was worried they would get picked on.
Let me know what breed they may be..

There are several clues, but it is hard to tell at this stage in life:
Clean legged
Yellow skinned, so probably of the American class rather than English.
There's quite a few they might be - wyandottes, plymouth rocks and leghorns are just a few.
Hey that little white one with the black jacket/wings on,,,,what is this breed???? He/she is precious!!!! Beautiful!!!!! Email me if you find out,,,,juliechickens@aol.com
I am pretty sure that in the second picture the black w/ tan and gray legged chicken is an araucana. I have some that are older but look the same as that one.
