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....

Squee! I just went out to the coop to check on my broodies. One of them was off the nest for her daily dust bath/feeding so I picked up the egg to see if I could hear anything and the egg moved! I'm so eggcited! Hope they both are alive, I didn't check the second one.

how exciting cotton!!

got home from a quick trip to the store went to check temp and humidity levels and saw an egg move... went back in 5 mins later to find it had pipped!

so i have 2 pips... have heard the faintest of peeping (i sooo thought i imagine it ) ((knowing myself i probably did ;)

aww thanks for the hugs chickster... my 4 year old keeps telling them to hatch already, she's excited but not nearly as nervous as i am. hoping to she will be home or up to catch it zipping .....

still here waiting .

I had to candle my 2nd bator . For the past couple of days I kept smelling a stinker. My son said it was worse today. I found it alright. It had a small tiny pin hole in it. It had only be n for 2 weeks. My daughter thought we could wax it like we did the other one. Not this one. YUCK!!
