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 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...

It's very hard to get a body shot of her as she is SOO friendly, she runs right up and is in my face when I come out with the camera. Even climbs into my lap. I just adore her. She is just shy of 3 months.

4312: I hatched my last bunch out with some Mille Fleur Banties and they are all buddies. Snuggle up together, roost together, it's odd.

You can breed them if that is what you would like to do, but if it is possible to get your splash English roo I guess that is what I would do. He is a very nice boy and from an excellent line and lots of people do cross them, it all depends on what you are breeding for and what you would like to do.

Good luck with what ever you decide!

It has the Orpington Bantam type. Looks like some New Hampshire blood in it. I hope he did not come from Nicole's eggs, as we have never seen any color like this in our lines.

Your prayers are appreciated! The divorce was granted.

I will be on/off BYC. If we owe you hatching eggs, please forward us the listing information. We are almost caught up on them and do not wish to miss anyone. Geese are now laying!

Thanks Rebel Yell.

I will do. It is so funny I have seramas hatching out at the same time. My husband is amazed at the size difference (ummmmm....duh)....but it is funny. I told my daughter to go and look at the broody (who happens to be a BR cross who is in my egg layer pen - eggs only), anyway, DD went to look...came back to tell me that from under momma there was a little fluffy yellow head and another one that was black. Very cute. I have overload of cuteness at my house right now. And I am diabetic...overload of sweetness. LOL.

Today is kind of rainy...but I will take photos soon. Good hatch. out of 7 eggs...5 healthy babies. Thank you Rebel Yell.

Love my misc layers. Love my Orps; blacks and working on lavendars. On the other side of the "size spectrum": My beautiful Seramas. Going to start showing in 2012. I hope to learn lots.

There are too many breeds and varieties in the world to have them all... but its too hard just to choose a few.

Currently breeding Bantam Orpingtons, Anconas, White Faced Black Spanish, and RC Rhode Island Reds. Also have Buff, Blue Swedish and Runner ducks along with Chinese Geese.
