Honestly, they are great birds. We have 2 boys freeranging together and neither one has ever gotten the least bit aggressive with us and they are very polite to their girls as well. No missing...

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....

Hey There

I have had chickens in the past and will get some when I get out on some land we bought out in the woods.

I did not know there were that many breeds.

When I was mowing day before yesterday I got on a well hid turkey nest that i could not see killed the hen she never moved till the mower got her. I brought the Ten eggs home.

I made a thread yesterday at 646 PM ask for any help on hatching the eggs.

Welcome to BYC. I'm sure you'd have to put the eggs in an incubator. I dont hatch eggs, sorry I cant help you out in that regard.

Most people have no clue...think about it: Forewarned is Forearmed

Welcome to BYC! Good luck with those turkeys!

It's the shape that makes the breed, and the color that makes the variety.

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