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 will start by saying that I love Australorps. In fact, my very favorite hen is an Australorp. She is such a sweet chicken and just let's you walk right up to her to pick her up. She doesn't run...

Can anyone show me a pic of what a dusky blue fawn hen looks like? Duckling pics would be awesome too. Thanks!

"Dusky Blue Fawn" is sort of an oxymoron. There's a Blue Fawn (wild-type grey mallard pattern + a single blue dilution), or a Blue Dusky (the dusky blocks most of the wild-type grey pattern - so, it eliminates the white neck ring and claret breast, etc., and if you add a blue dilution on top of that, you get a Blue Dusky...)

This is a juvenile Blue Dusky Runner hen - I was working on this color pattern a few years ago, but got out of them to focus on Magpie Call ducks instead:
