I have 6 Barnies, they did start laying at about 28 weeks, but that is not an issue with me. Most of my poultry did. They don't lay the really dark eggs, but they are large, dark brown and some...

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 am in my third year raising chickens. The old coop, leghorns and RIR are now at my dad's. I have 10 chicks I got at a local hatchery (4 buffs- 6 wks,4BR-5wks, 2 Speckled Sussex-4 wks). I'm almost done constructing a coop and run and I just found out they changed the ordinance from 6 to 3 chickens. I guess I'm a rebel. I would like to find others on here from Hendersonville to support changing this ignorant law. Happy chickening!

Welcome from another MIddle TN resident. You might want to look up the Middle Tennessee thread to see if there are others from Hendersonville there. It's a fairly active thread.
