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....

Here are the two girls that we haven't quite adopted yet with their present owner. I'm not brave enough to try this because the chicks I have seem to poop everywhere all the time without warning.

one fat pony, and many (but not too many!) chickens

Can anyone tell me, how many are too many chickens?
