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....

I got these from the bantam bin at TSC. They are 4 wks old now, they looked alike when they were chicks also, so I presume they are the same breed. I got them thinking they would be splash EE. But it looks like their shanks are going to stay yellow and they seem to have rose comb - their combs are flat. Also they started to get wattles.

The only thing I can think of is splash rose comb bantams?

Any guesses on gender?

Given stance and thickness of the legs, I would have to guess Cornish.

Bantam Wyandottes- they have rose combs. It is too early to sex them

Black Leghorns- they are my main attention, White Leghorn,I still have a few Light Brown Leghorns, but am not going to breed them.I keep small flock GS Barred Rocks, small flock New Hampshire's and am starting to think about good SLW. I do not call myself Breeder- I am backyard chicken lover.
