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...

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 just sprayed a huge wasps nest that was brewing inside a seperate compartment that is in the roof of my chicken coop (it was a free dog house so I don't know what it was for, it's just empty space) as well as around the area. when would be safe to put my chickens back in? I am in the process of gutting my coop and replacing all of the sand and want to finish it today. It is supposed to rain again tonight, should I wait until tomorrow to put them back? Also, is it safe to put the sand in there now? It should be dry, it was sprayed twice, the last time was about an hour ago.

You might read what there is on the label to see what it says about exposure to animals. To rid yourself of a wasp nest, just burn it and leave it. They won't return the same year.

I'm not going anywhere near wasps and I might burn down the whole coop if I did that. They seem to be taken care of, and it rained heavily the past few days. I have my sussex outside and she seems to be fine.
