    Dominique Thread!

    Yes, I agree, color was not my biggest priority over the years and is still a little inconsistent. I never am too concerned with sexing chicks, more concerned with hatch rate and vigor.

    Dominique Thread!

    A 2 year old hen that is one of my best overall females that I have produced to date. Very balanced throughout. Color has been improving quickly over the last three years, better gray tones with good cuckoo barring. The male I believe was a cock when the picture was taken. I sold him to a...

    Dominique Thread!

    Didn’t hatch any this year. Have plenty of previous generations that are under lock and key. Used four single matings last year and wanted to see the outcome of the pullets with comparing their egg and body size to their mothers. Been a hard road the past five years of bring down the size from...

    The Moonshiner's Leghorns

    Have done well hatching from a trio this spring. Close to 80 over the last 9 weeks. A lot of sorting to do. The breed and the variety is new to me, leaving me to have to grow out a lot of mature birds to see what their strengths and weaknesses are.

    Beating a dead horse with the wattles. The cockerel shown would never be nicked in points for what is in the picture. Broad, medium in length, smooth and free from folds. Good type will always be priority when showing.

    The Moonshiner's Leghorns

    this is a Dominique hen I did not show because she was not finished out from molt. You can see the similarity in size and type of the Dominique compared to the leghorn. The Dominique is not as long and not as froward in the breast. So this is what attracted me to them. I wanted a variety that...

    The Moonshiner's Leghorns

    These birds are from Curtis Oakes, who lives up in NW Pa. From what I understand he has had these since the 60s. These birds need a lot of work but are showing good vigor. The pullets have just came into lay and the eggs are fertile, so this winter I hope to single mate the pullets and hope to...

    The Moonshiner's Leghorns

    A new 10 year project. These LF Columbian Leghorns are a breeder trio from Oakes and are settling in nicely here at my yard. I am delighted with these birds in type and size. The birds compliment themselves well for breeding in type and color.

    Very nice examples of the breed! Even at such a young age I like what I see, Centrachid Nice continuity in type and color. Even at such a young age I can see the quality and attention that was put into the breeding pens. Great job! Would like to see you at the DCOA National this year at the Ohio...
