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 was too busy working on the garden to do much with the chickens today. Now I'm sitting outside writing a blog post and somebody wants to know where her treat for the day is.

First of all welcome to the flock and the wonderful world of chicken math! The pics are priceless. I hadn't thought about giving my birds spaghetti noodles. I'll have to try that next time I cook some noodles. My chicks love to get out in the grass and play! I just have to make sure I am right there with them. I have had 2 Cooper's hawks hanging around! One of them was so brave(or stupid or hungary) it actually landed on and stayed on the top of my coop! Let's just say that hawk hasn't bothered my flock since that day.Best of luck with your little ones.
I went from a few chickens for eggs to 30 standard and 10 banty chickens! Throw in a couple of wiener dogs( who love to roundup the birds!) and a Golden Retriever (who won't retrieve!) and lucky for me I have a very tolerant Husband and son! Semper Fi, oorah!!

That's actually just a 10 mega-pixel point and shoot Canon. You could probably pick it up for 50 bucks or less. It's great for quick shots, but it's not good for low-lighting areas, even indoors with the lights on. I want to switch over to a DSLR once I'm not spending all of my money on chickens, goats and gardening. :P
And thanks for all the kind words!
