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....

This is Lil' Ed..named after the janitor at our school. He's helped so much so it seemed only fitting. Lil' Ed is the only one that's hatched so far. His bros and sis's haven't hatched...they've pipped but they haven't hatched. We put Ed in the brooder but moved him back to the incubator because I read his little peeps are good for the other babies...to help them hatch. I don't know if I'm going to be able to let these babies go. I might have to move to a place with a pond and tell our friends they can't have them!! Ha ha. He is soooo cute...what a set of lungs!!! :-)
