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....

Light brahmas came in Friday, not sure if they still have any left, they did have them when we were there yesterdAY

“If loving someone is putting them in a straitjacket and kicking them down a flight of stairs, then yes, I have loved a few people.” "Many people hear voices when no one is there. Some of them are called mad and are shut up in rooms where they stare at the walls all day. Others are called writers and they do pretty much the same thing.”

Ducktape is like the force- it has a dark side, a light side, and holds the world together.

Hello fellow Alaskans!

I just joined, figured I might as well since I am always on here looking up info anyway. Plus networking for future trades. Gosh, I think I still have to set up my profile.

I am in Wasilla, have a Welsummer rooster and 10 hens of various types. Have 4 cuckoo maran straight run chicks hoping to get at least one female prefer two. Just hatched out 15 babies from my hens, my first time and in a home made 'WasillaBilly' bator complete with duct tape, lol. Next week the blue slate heritage turkey eggs are due to hatch and soon will have enough bourbon red turkey eggs collected to start incubating.

So happy its finally nice out. Now, just waiting on it to green up!!
