    Leghorn and what breed is the other?

    Good question. None of my white hens lay white eggs. But they lay various shades of very light blue, green and cream.

    I have 5 of the leghorns and then this beauty who holds her tail proudly with a smaller comb and battles. What do y'all think she is. Pay no attention to the chick's they aren't hers.

I dislike having to shovel it all out , and pray it will dry enough to put...
