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....

They're like 2.5-3 weeks old now. I'm assuming they're all cockerels at this point, they all pretty much look the same. The real small ones have little red wattles coming in already, but everyones elses combs/wattles don't have any color. Any ideas?

They're not real friendly

and the bigger of these chicks are BIG! Bigger then my Cochin and EE chicks of the same age. Thanks in advance

Edited to add: they all looked like this as fuzzy wuzzy babies...

Production red cockerels. The PR hybrids tend to grow VERY FAST compared to many other breeds.

I agree

If you want to see what breeds I have, go here! http://www.backyardchickens.com/a/the-egg-box-farm

I dream of a day when chickens can cross the road without having their motives questioned.
