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...
seem like a good breed, if i had the room i would probably raise a batch of them they seem like they would be a good 4h starter show bird...considering i dont see many of this breed in my class...
its a feed scooper it cant be perfect but over all when every thing is said an done i love mine its great its starting to show a little wear an tear but its to be expected i have had it for 4...
Wow we have alot of Ohio folks only one NY and one Floridian. More the merrier:)

There are 247 of us with you over on the 3rd annual Easter Hatch thread too. That one more of a chat thread but does have some prizes and such, today is your last day to join there.
Good luck with your hatches. I set 34 eggs noon on the 17th. Blue Orp mixes, Blue Orp/Rock mix and pure Blue Rocks. Hope I can keep them separated as they hatch- at least the Pure Rocks.
egghead, didn't we have to set them on sat the 17th?
Yes we are. I work in Lebanon too. Have a couple of very good friends from Waynesville too
That is so cool!!!!!!! glad you joined my thread!!!!

I'm so glad you started the thread. This is the 1st one I've been a part of so I hope I hatch some :)
Watch out....you're going to have a blast. Pretty soon you will be hatching just to have a hatching thread, LOL! The first one I did our eggs were hatching in the middle of the night so it was so much fun to have someone to talk to at 3:00 in the morning about chicks peeping.
Smchickfarm, don't tempt me. I have chickens coming out of my ears right now. I am finding all sorts of creative places to make pens for them and the dust in my house is starting to take over!!!! It's become an everyday chore trying to keep the shaving swept up.
