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...

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...

I went with Disney princesses - Ariel, Belle and Goldilocks - 3 GSL's that were all different shades of gold/yellow, Cinderella - a black bantam, and Snow White - a white bantam. Cinderella turned out to be a roo so his name was changed to Prince Charming. He turned out to be not so charming, so I rehomed him and Snow White, who also turned out to be a roo. I adopted a lemon cuckoo orpington and named him King Tut. Tank is his nickname - he is a gentle giant!

3 GSL pullets - Ariel, Belle and Goldilocks, one lemon cuckoo orpington roo - Mr. Big, 1 loveable kitty and one fabulous DH - all spoiled!!!

Well I have renamed my rooster from King Tut to Mr. Big, because I am constantly calling him Big Guy. Now I have to change my girls names to Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda and get a fourth to name Samantha!!

I don't know the sexes of all mine yet so I am sure some names will be changing. I already changed two because I didn't like their original names.

I have:

Sunny (was Matilda)

Olive

Willow (also known as Hoover or Miss Piggy)

Elliot (was Eloise but I am 90% this is a roo)

Carmen (I think this one needs to be renamed, it is the only one I have with a single comb and it looks like a velociraptor)

Weeble (she reminded me of a Weeble Wobble when she was hatched, she is the runt)

My urban farm animals(the list keeps growing): two Jack Russells (Batman and Peanut), a Dalmatian (Ty), a White Easter Egger (Luna), a Buff Orpington (Ginger), a Blue Wyandotte (Hazy), a Java (Dottie), an Easter Egger (Ana), a Backyard Special (Weeble), a Cuckoo Maran (Coco), a Buff Brahma (Queenie), a Partridge Rock (Shirley), a French Angora rabbit (Benjamin Bunny), and two Pygora goats...
