Leghorn

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....

they could be sex linked, or they could be like SLW's we have. it is just general but they are black chicks with chipmunk stripes. the boys tend to have more white on them while the girls tend to be darker. a SLW with white wings are usually boys. so just a guess it is similar markers with marans.

Today is day 10. I threw away one infertile one and one that was dead. That leaves me with 7 eggs.

I've got 2 cats, Dyllen and Star. I have 17 chickens; 3 BLRW, 3 mutts, 2 EEs, 2 White Rock roosters, 1 RIR, 1 White Leghorn, 1 Red Star, 1 Golden Campine, 1 unknown hen, 1 Partridge cochin, and 1 Golden Polish. I also have 1 Swedish/Black Indian Runner laying on 8 eggs.

I have some Porcelain D'Uccles, Australorps, Araucana, India Blue Peafowl, Red Golden & Temminck Pheasants, Mandarin ducks, a few Nigerian & Pygmy goats, a couple cats, a DH and a few kids. Simple and happy.
