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....

This is my mystery chick from McMurray i think. It doesnt have any feathers on its legs, and it isnt a bantam unless they sent me an older bantam chick with my young standard chicks. I have been trying to figure out what this one is all day by looking on the hatchery website and google images but i cant figure it out. The only thing i have found that looks close is the buff japanese bantams but i really dont think this one is a bantam. It is the same size if not slightly larger than the rest of my chicks.
The breeds of chicks i ordered are :
buff orpingtons
delawares
turken
single comb brown leghorn
white leghorn
silver laced wyandotte
easter eggers
black stars
black australorp
and red stars

It might be a delaware because i ordered 2. I just dont see another one like it.
I went out and counted each breed and compared to how many i think I ordered. I had 5 chicks that had chipmunk stripes on them. I should only have 4. 3 easter eggers and 1 brown leghorn.
So maybe that one is a delaware and they gave me an extra easter egger. Which from what i hear are almost always roosters sad
If its a rooster I doubt i will keep it

If you ordered a Delaware pullet, and they had to substitute another breed because your Delaware was unavailable, they should have substituted another pullet. They shouldn't intentionally give you a rooster in place of a pullet you ordered. I can also say that McMurray was spot on with my chick sexing. All my girls turned out to be girls, and out of 4 straight run chicks in my order only 1 turned out to be a roo. So, out of an order of 32 (+4 freebies) birds, I got 2 boys. Not bad, IMO. I was very pleased with McMurray. Good luck!
