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 don't know if this is just me but I think I was more excited for my chicks to hatch than my duck and I don't know why. Maybe because I already know what they will look like or what and chicks are all different than ducklings.

Now, by the time I go look in the incubator it's like oh, one hatched. I think I've killed so many it's taken the fun out

B J Hopkins, is that a bantam Ameraucana you have there or large fowl?

Adorable chicks. I just hatched my first ever bantam cochin. It's tiny. The silkie hatched first and it's in there picking on that poor little fellar!
