    Dorking? Silver Leghorn? or ??? (Pic Heavy)

    Ok, so Silver Duckwing Leghorns it is....I guess I was right in the first place! Whatever those two are, they are the sweetest of my five. They will let me pet and handle them with out FREAKING OUT like my Spanish ladies. Thanks you guys!

    Dorking? Silver Leghorn? or ??? (Pic Heavy)

    Ok, so most likely a pair of Leghorns. How common is it to find hens with spurs? Is it a Leghorn thing?

    Thanks, akcountrygrrl. I have heard that hatchery chickens are often not carefully bred to the standard.

    Dorking? Silver Leghorn? or ??? (Pic Heavy)

    I have a pair of hens, just over a year old, whose breed is a mystery to me. I got them from a friend as pullets--she had a double order of Murray McMurray's Rare Breed Layers, and gave some of her extras to me. Ever since, I have been trying to pin down what they are, For a long time, I had...

    muti-species sweet mix from TSC for hens

    Quote: X3 I just found a small local feed store that carries a good quality feed that is milled here in my state, and it is $10 for a 50# bag. I couldn't believe the difference, since I'm used to getting Layena at TSC.

    Mini Pellets

    Sounds like a mini pellet might be worth your while, if you could get it in Oklahoma. I just bought my first bag of Tucker Mills.....I haven't even ripped it open, so I haven't actually seen the smaller pellets yet. I wanted to try their super layer (more protien) to help my Spanish through...
