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....

Well you're right! They do look like the Golden Comet chicks!

but then again - The Golden comet is just another shade of the Red Star/Black Star/Sex Link Chicken right?

She looks beautiful and well cared for. You must have a talent for this kind of thing!

Yes, the golden comet is a sex link hybrid breed. They supposedly are early layers and are good producers. I think you might be pleased. I wanted to start with the RIR and at the last minute decided to go with a cross section of birds, one of which is the golden comet. I would see if you can find a breeder in your area, they are generally a lot more knowledgeable than TSC. It is difficult to tell some chicks apart from other breeds I think. Breeders have more experience and are also willing to share with you what they know.
