Not a bad Black Leghorn. I've handled some from Duane's breeding. I think the females are stronger than the males. The females from that line I've handled had teriffic body type. He's also done a good job keeping the legs very yellow-not always easy to do on a black bird.

Thanks for the compliment. I agree with you about the females, they look alot better than the males. His defect that I have noticed when compared to other leghorn cocks like whites is that his legs have a slight green tint to them. We crossed him with his hen from Duane Urch and some how got a few that had some black speckles in their legs but other than that they look great.

What do you think of the barred leghorns? They came from Phil Bartz, I think he is an APA judge but he may be an ABA judge.

Thanks again,
Michael.

I think your barred Leghorns are really nice, but being bantams they would be in Single Comb Clean Leg at a show...not Mediterranean......The Med class should be for Large Fowl only. JMHO Jane
