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'm a newbie to this site and to chicken hatching. I bought eggs and hatched several different breeds, but I lost track of which chicks came from which eggs.

I know the yellow one is a Buff Orpington. The breeds I know I have are Sex Links, Easter Eggers, and possibly some barred rocks. I think I may also have a silver cochin and maybe a black/brown australorp. I have two that were born almost camo colored. All my chicks are about 2-1/2 weeks old now.

Please help me figure out who's who!

Thanks!

Oh my, so many chicks! Looks like you've had good success hatching! I can tell you that the EEs are probably the brown ones. Check for green legs which is very common for EEs. Barred Rocks will be mostly black with a large yellow spot on the back of the head.

Look in the breeds forum or online to see pics of chicks for the possible breeds. You might have to wait a bit to find out.

Good luck!
