    Got gave us two ears. One to let stuff in and one to let stuff out. Let folks talk, you don't have to keep stuff you don't like. "You may be right", "You have a point", " I didn't know that", are all non confrontational, keeps the peace as you walk away, to get a drink.

    amen. My library book got me "Storey's book of Poultry" I order 3 each of 8 breeds, pullets only. After my wife died I just gave all my chickens away.

    I kinda wish people would read a book, magazine or posts BEFORE buying chicks. Have an idea of what you need to do first. The public library was my first source for learning about chickens. BYC was just getting started. Yes, I am old.

    Sand Hill Dorking Chickens

    Do you have Red Dorkings. I've got some "filler" chicks that I think might be but they don't have a fifth toe. Do they grow the toe later?The packing list shows 9 Red Dorking, RD filler chicks. I can't find any pictures of chicks on line.

    Im unable to find a picture of a Red Dorking chick. While it's said they have five toes, an examination of two chicks don't show a fifth toe.

    So I found the paperwork. The line the "filler chicks" is on says, Red Dorking, code RD, Filler chicks, 9. I don't mind them sending fillers and I'm happy with my order. Except if I wanted anything else they're out for the year on breeds that I want. lol I'm already planning next years order. lol.

    unfortunately, I didn't save the packing list. I am aware of the feather sexing flaw, but we did it for fun. So we shall see. I have two brooders and separated them by sex to see how we do. I have emailed Sandhill but it will be days before I hear. Of course we'll raise all the chicks to see...

    The Moonshiner's Leghorns

    You might check with the Livestock Conservancy. They might know of a breeder. Or a breeder of another kind of Leghorn.

    The Moonshiner's Leghorns

    Well I do like the Browns, but Leghorns are flighty and I think don't do well in confinement? It's their personalities. :D

    They're not Red but golden with a pattern. Won't know fully till they grow out I guess.
