Hi, I am new to the board but not to chicks:) I raised chickens while growing up, then I moved off and got married and 13 years later have decided to get more chicks and get my kids involved with it. I covered a dog kennel we had with chicken wire, built a pallet coop, and got the chicks from a local farmer. They are in the house right now of course all snuggly under their heat lamp:) I was supposed to get 8 Light Brahma chicks. I was going to pick them up, then drop them back at my house, and then I had to go somewhere else so I was on a time limit and did not get to do more then glance at them in the box when she handed them to me. When I got home from all the errands I got to really take a look and found this one did not look like the rest. No feathers on the feet and dark legs. Anyone have a guess at the breed, or breeds it might be? It is the one I am holding of course:)

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.... -
