Thanks so much all. I'm having fun with them! A long ways to go - any advice out there?

I love my WLH's. They are so sweet and full of personality and their athleticism is remarkable to watch. For every negative attribute about leghorns you can find, I can find a countless number of posts where someone is asking for help for the same behavior in another breed. Also, I have noticed those who post negative comments about leghorns actually don't list ownership in their signature lines- that does mean they've never owned them but at the end of the day any chickens behavior is going to be a reflection on the level of socialization the owner brings to the flock.

Here's a pic of my three of my girls. Their combs and waddles are much bigger now.

Boy is THAT statement a stretch. So because I don't have anything in my signature line means I don't own chickens?

Here are mine: They are FOR SALE if anyone is interested. 1 hen 2 roos Will ship.

A: No. I did not say that if there were no breeds at all included in the signature line then the poster doesn't own chickens- that's not even reasonable.

I agree with Henny. . .

I've got a pair of Leghorns, and I like them. I'm just not sure if I'm going to breed them.

I thought I would post a pic of my Brown Leghorn girl. She has gone broody twice this season and has been a wonderful mom. Having these chicks has made her much less flighty! Here she is with her 2 chicks.

First night on the roost with the babies!

we just picked up 1 cockeral and 4 pullets today that are light brown leghorn bantams- my DS(9) is raising them for his 4-H project. Will have to get a pick of them tomorrow, they seem to be settling in so far. Now off to do some reading of the thread!

don't know why they call them Brown if they are based on WildType...

That is what that variety of Leghorns is called. More specifically, Light Brown Leghorns. Never mind, I misunderstood your post...
ETA: They were given this name before all this genetic crap started...
