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...

Hello, my name is Yas, I'm new to BYC as a 'member' but have gotten a LOT of useful information by you guys showing up in my Google searches. I currently am raising Chukar Partridges I bought the eggs from a farm a couple hours away. I incubated them with my hova bator incubator. I'm a University student and I am new to the whole raising birds thing! I've built a coup for them in my backyard and currently have 28 Chukars, and they are about 2 months old.

For my next project I am really interested in the Serama Chickens, the really small chickens. I find them so beautiful and powerful with their posture and colours.

I hope to learn a lot and provide anyone with any tips that I have learned along the way.

Thanks for reading!

Hi and

Glad to have you here!
Seramas are an awesome breed. There are a couple of big threads in Breeds, Genetics and Showing where people chat about them.
Oh, and congratulations on your chukar hatch

I hope you find all the info you need here, and enjoy the site.
