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....

TSC will be the death of me!

My brooder was empty...I just needed dog food. *Sigh* I now have three cayuga and three blue swedish ducklings (I think). Three are black, and 3 are silver/bluish color on top and yellowy down on the bottom.

So, are these guys good brooders of their own eggs or do I have to look forward to my silkies hatching duck eggs?!

It will probably depend on the individual duck. Of nine Runners, three get broody. Both my Buffs tend toward broodiness..

Nine beautiful Runners, four beautiful Buffs, thousands of beautiful memories and counting.

Looking for ducks? Please consider adopting rescued ducks. There are many places and people who do rescues, but we are not allowed to post the links due to BYC regs. So fire up your web browsers and find some sweet, grateful duckies.
