    The Moonshiner's Leghorns

    Generally all of the offspring are bigger when you put a male with a bigger female. Females contribute a lot of the genes responsible for size in a breeding. I was always taught that males influence color more, and females influence type and size more.

    I have seldom seen a rooster more determined than these Leghorn cockerels free ranging. They run the hens down. Even the very agile and fast Game hens. There is no old head honcho to keep them under control around anymore and they are running amuck!

    Mcmurray Hatchery Red Leghorns

    Here is my Red Leghorn cock from MM. I call him Saw Blade because of his ugly comb. He is a gentle bird, non-aggressive. After he got past the initial tender chick stage (with a lot of babying and TLC) he and his brother grew out well and were hardy as grow outs. Both he and his brother had...

    Mcmurray Hatchery Red Leghorns

    I purchased Red Leghorn chicks from Murray McMurray last spring. Let me start off by saying I have ordered chicks from MM for years and their chicks are always hardy, vigorous, and we rarely experienced losses. That is, until we ordered the Red Leghorns. Out of the Red Leghorns that survived...

    When you have boys you definitely know what parkour is. 😆
