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 couldn't get this thing to stop leaking. I even tested it by putting it on a flat concrete surface and it still leaked out the entire 2 gallons. Tried hanging it, tried sitting it on the...

I have five hens and two pullets- one seven year old red star, Luna, one white leghorn, Sage, one SLW, Pepper, one adorable fluffy EE, Bedazzle, and one black star, Buckbeak. My two pullets are Nutella, my wheaten marans, thirty five weeks, (who is yet to lay an egg!), and her best friend, Sammy, seventeen weeks.

Yeah, that's just a tether in the picture. A lot of times gamefowl roosters are kept tethered because they have the tendency to fight each other if they're together, so that keeps the roosters separate from each other.

That's a gaff...in cockfighting, they trim off the spurs and attach metal blades (removable) to their legs.
Sorry, it's just a tether.

Well, the kittens aren't so cute anymore and the easter egger cockerels are in the freezer. Plus, I think offering them as "prizes" scared folks off! So, I'm still posting quotes, if you know it let me know. I'm very enamored of this new one, it may hang around for a while!

In cockfighting, the roosters are kept in a open area, tethered to a small house the tether is so that they don't fight the roo who lives next to them

My friend also has to teather her roos because even though they arnt an aggressive breed she wants to keep them in peak condition for showing. If they were all loose together they would be torn up just in time for shows... So its not just fighting birds that are tethered. Its also handy to keep roos that like to roam nicely in their yards. Neighbors appreciate that.
