Leghorn

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 brought these 2 week old babies home. Any guess on what color they will be? Probably not but I am hoping! There was multiple choice in parentage from browns, blues and black and whites. There was a gorgeous tan and brown drake that I'm hoping is the father of the one on the right.

Too many chickens and ducks, 3 rabbits, 14 turkeys, 3 dogs and 2 beyond spoiled pot bellied pigs! Oh and 2 kids and one nearly perfect boyfriend!

Firstly, i will i am awful with the colours on 'scovies.. my brain just cannot process it well lol anyhow, i am leaning towards a black on the left now how the variation will play don't know, the right one could be a chocolate.. it's hard to tell, my last group of 9 was a mix of blues, blacks and one chocolate.. i just tried to review the old pics(there 9wks now) but it was hard to spot her. Either way they are adorable!

The one on the right will most likely be a chocolate.

The other one is hard to tell. I've had some like that that end up solid chocolate, or black. Sometimes it's hard to tell because the black ones can have copper colored heads as babies.

In a few weeks they should start to get their feathers. The ones on their shoulders will come in first and that's when you will find out what color they will be :)
