I think I may try working with red leghorns soon. I tried a while back but had all 3 batches of chicks from 3 different sources arrive dead. I am determined to have them! If needed, I already have a breeding plan in place to improve type and I am pretty stoked about it. I have only seen a few pics of reds and I feel that they deserve more attention

I totally agree with you, they are a hardy breed and are very docile. They are also my favorite brown egg layers

Ooh, can't wait to see your results! Will you try single or rose combs?

I'm going to start with single combed birds from hatchery stock since I can't find any breeders that work with reds. Later, if all goes as planned, I have a plan to make rose comb red leghorns without cross breeding, just crossing color varieties. Gotta love having a fair knowledge of genetics
