Leghorn

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 think I figured it out. I see one tiny father sticking up on their tail and it happens to be on the 2 that don't have the bill spots. They are both pretty quite also. so I am assuming I have 2 boys and 2 girls! The boys dont fight like roosters do they? Im a duck newbie.

They are truly beautiful!

I have 2 males and they dont fight at all like roosters. occasionsally they have an arguement but its nothing serious. when theres girls around i think it might be a different story thoe. i only have 2 boys so yh

Well with my 2 males they dont ever fight. They only fight with the mallards that try to take the females.

Well it seems like one is more dominant than the other. I'm hoping they don't fight or anything. Cute little babies

They shouldnt if they where raised together. Its really interesting to watch the males noteat until the females are done. They are good hubbies even though they are swingers LOL.
