Honestly, they are great birds. We have 2 boys freeranging together and neither one has ever gotten the least bit aggressive with us and they are very polite to their girls as well. No missing...

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 would say blue #1 and the white look to be pullets.

The rest are not clear at this time.

Give them a few more weeks.

I am currently planning to prepare to get ready to focus.

I have no idea, but I love your white girl. She looks like a powder puff with a beak.

I love that little white one and I am pretty sure she is a she! I hope so at least. I have another that looks just like her but think it is a cockerel but he is going to be for sale since he is missing toenails.
One I really wonder about is the single combed black. I think it is a pullet but wanted to go ahead and sell her off now so I do not forget about her later and have to track her back down on which one she is again. I did not want to list her and she turn into a he!
