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...

I was told when I got my Coturnix that the "whites" were Texas A&M but after looking at alot of pics of quail in the last few days I notice mine are smaller than Texas A&M, mine are around 4 months old ( or supposed to be anyway ) and they are mostly white with some spots of gold speckles or tibetan type colors, they appear to be a bit bigger than the tibetans but they are not HUGE by any means.

PS, yes I know their heads are bald from the boys being frisky, the pics were taken the day I got them ( three days ago ) they are not all mixed in one cage that was just the cage I brought them home in.

Wearing myself out raising chickens, quail, pheasants, pigeons, and an Australian Shepherd lol.

They look like English Whites. My whites are larger than the others too but definitely not Texas A & M. The True Texas A & M are pretty rare.

Sarcasm: Just one of the many services I offer.

the one you call golden could also just have some wild color in there, its such a small amount its hard to tell. the others probably do have some dark range, especially if he has kept them in colony pen with dark ranges.
