Honestly, they are great birds. We have 2 boys freeranging together and neither one has ever gotten the least bit aggressive with us and they are very polite to their girls as well. No missing...

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've been in full-on chicken research mode for weeks now and finally made the plunge to join here! I think we found our coop today, it's a shed on a trailer, fully converted to be a coop! We'll need a run for it because hawks love to pick off the chickens around here, but that's doable. I'm so excited! My plan is to pick up: 3 Rhode Island Reds, 3 Americaunas, 2 Buff Orpington, and 2 Black Australorp on April 6th from our local feed shop. Can't wait to meet some of you here :)

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan

Home of the world's cutest dachshund, one crazy blue heeler, two cats,
one fat pony, and many (but not too many!) chickens

Can anyone tell me, how many are too many chickens?
