leghorn

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is the one with bigger comb and wattles a rooster? They’re both 18 week old leghorns

My leghorn is slowly driving me round the bend. She is broody and I cannot seem to break it. She has now pulled all the feathers out under her. We don't own a cockerell and there are no eggs under her. She is moved out of the nesting box and locked away from it regularly. She has been given...

Good morning! I was wondering when did everyone’s girls start to lay? I have two Rhode island reds, two prairie bluebell easter eggers, and two light bramahas that are 16 weeks and I have a buff orpington, white leghorn, and americana easter egger that are 8 weeks. This is my first personal...

Can someone help me figure out if my leghorn is a hen or Rooster. This bird is a lot bigger than the other leghorn we have that we got the same time and supposed to be same age. They should be about 11-12 weeks.

We are pretty new to chickens and I have a question about our new rooster. Sorry for the long story 😣. Tl:dr is a leghorn rooster too big for half bantam Easter egger hens? We currently have 2, 1-year old mix breed hens (Easter egger type, one looks like a black polish[Wesley], the other is...

Hi, I've got two Leghorns and one of them has developed a rather large comb, she/he started growing it at about 12 weeks old and now it's week 18 but the odd thing is that she/he doesn't have any sickle feathers or any sort of rooster-like feathers. Usually, I have been able to successfully...

I have some new chicks that are about five and a half weeks old. They’ve been staying in my room with me since I got them, but what I had them in was getting a bit too small for them. I put them in the run tonight with the big girls in a dog crate. I’m going to introduce them using the playpen...

I am sure this is going to sound like a stupid question to many but can somebody tell me if I am wrong for assuming this is a male brown leghorn? I’m fairly new to this bird thing so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I got 10 leghorns from rural king I think the one circled is a rooster. If you had to guess how old are they. I got 6 black sex link and 6 whydot chicks that are 8 weeks old outside with the adult hens. They are very feathered out for how small they are is that normal for them.

Hello everyone, meet Bedhead. We got this little one in a group of six on March 4th from a farmer near us. She said they were all five days old, but this one has always been a bit bigger then the rest. I’m thinking Bedhead is actually a week older than the rest of the group. Recently it seems...

hen with yellow leg and yellow beek and white earlobe indicates which breed? With small size.and white in colour? Please help.

What is the breed of this pullet? Is it a brown leghorn? It has dark Beek and dark leg and white earlobe.

Hi! I’m hoping you fellow chicken friends can help. We have 2 white leghorns (10-12 weeks old) and I can’t figure out if the 2nd one is a rooster or a hen! I know leghorns typically have bigger combs and wattles. But this ones seem to be slightly more pink and not as large as our male (first...

My son came home from dad's with 3 white leghorn chicks! I don't know how old they are neither did dad. I'm now caring for them the best I can with what I've learn from google and YouTube lol. I've had them about 2 days now. I would appreciate any and all advice on how to care for them properly...

Hello! I have a lovely 12ish week old pullet, Sophie, that I got about 6 weeks ago. She is a Delaware x White Leghorn from a gal who wanted to see what that cross would be like. Sophie has 3 brothers from the same mom and dad and I recently was talking to the girl I got her from and she's...

Is my 4-week old baby a Welsummer or a Light Brown Leghorn? I believe I have narrowed it down to those two. She was chipmunk as a baby. I do not have another of these breeds for comparison. I know I should wait for her earlobes, but I am antsy! Thank you!! LizzzyJo

One of my Leghorns regularly produces these eggs. She was hatched Febr 2020, so she is one year old now.

Anyone else had a cockerel with the biggest comb ever? This is our boy Foghorn Leghorn. We hatched him last year he’s about 7 months old. We have had hens for over 20 years and in that time we have NEVER seen a cockerel with such a big comb and wattles. Competition time? 😂

I currently have a dozen white leghorn hens, thinkin about breeding them with a barred rock rooster to get california grey chicks. My question is, does it need to be a purebred barred rock rooster to get the autosexing trait, or can it be any rooster that has barring?
