Here is a Blue Minorca that hatched this Spring out of a white x white mating. Her mother is a White Minorca that is out of a Sandhill White Rooster over a McMurray Black Hen.

Here is a picture of a pair of my White Minorca.

Our best White Minorca pullet from this year!

Sounds like a Black Leghorn. What hatchery, may I ask?

I wanted to share a picture of my two Roosters from Sand Hill Preservation. I also ordered a handful of pullets from McMurray, one of which was mistakenly sexed, so I ended up with a Rooster.
