leghorns

I had 8 chicks all raised together: one Barred Rock, one Cuckoo Marans, three Columbian Wyandotte, and three Leghorn. They’re what I could get shipped at one time. A friend wanted two, which is why I ordered eight to begin with, so the day came three weeks ago and two Leghorn left. While...

Hello, 1st time chicken owner and loving it! I've read and researched so much and learned a lot from this page. We have 9 leghorns, 3 brown and 6 white they are (4-5 wks old)feisty and spunky. 6 Easter eggers that are the sweetest and have the chubby cheeks they are only (3 days old). 3 barred...

Hello this is my first time raising chicks. I work at a farm and we received a shipment of 300 or so layer chicks five weeks back. Around 70 of them were leghorns, 25 are welsummers, 100 are isa browns, and 100 are various easter eggers. We have been raising them in a brooder inside our...

My babies says good night.

My new female White Leghorn.

We have a beautiful healthy 5 month old rooster we are unable to keep. Actually we had no idea it was a rooster until yesterday! Yikes our big beautiful hen was actually a rooster. We live in central New Jersey and can bring the rooster to you. We just want him to go to a home where he can live...

I just started with chickens a few months back. My hens have all hit 19 weeks this week and there is not an egg in sight. I have Marans, legbars and leghorns. I only have 7, but I do keep a gorgeous legbar cockerel in with them most days. Could they be stressed from him? They don’t seem to be...

I have 4 leghorns and 2 orpingtons at about 5 weeks old. It is time to move them outside. If you didn't know, I live in South Florida. A very hot place that can reach up to 100F in the summer months but it is starting to cool as we turn into fall. Right now it goes up to 90F. I know this is...

Hi all, I’m pretty certain that 4 of these are White Leghorn/Cream Legbar crosses, then the fifth one I’m totally unsure of! Any idea of sex? Also any idea of breed of the odd one out?! I have a cream legbar cockerel, an Appenzeller cockerel, a pekin bantam cockerel and a serama bantam cockerel...

Hi everyone, i am new to BYC and to chickens. We have had five birds for two weeks (acquired at 8 weeks of age): two Easter Eggers and one each Welsummer, New Hampshire, and Barred Rock. I just got two 14 week old white leghorns last night. I have read a lot about introducing new hens etc but...

I have been wanting to do this for some time now. I knew once I started doing this there would be no going back. So I am now diving in and I hope you all enjoy coming along for the ride. First of all let me tell you how we view our flock as that will help you to understand why we treat them...

Hi :) I am moving halfway down the coast and we can't take our girls with us. :( We have have 7) 18 month old White Leghorn hens. They usually 7 eggs every day, sometimes 6. They even laid all winter. All the chicken stuff we have, including the coop, are free to a good home. You don't have to...

After much research and ending up here everytime, I decided to sign up. I live in Northeast Ohio. I have three road island reds and three leghorns. They're almost five months old right now but laying eggs like crazy. It must be the weather and the fact that I give them everything they need...

Hello. To explain my problem I have to start at the beginning and let you know this is my first time caring for chickens. I've had three chickens for a little more then a year. Two are Leghorn chickens, named Nuisance and Killer (the names are bad I know. They were the names that stuck) and one...

These are my new girls, three Rhode Island Reds, two Leghorns(brown and white), and three Pekin ducklings! (P.S. there water is on the other side, it got cut out of the picture!)

Hey, Txs for the welcome. I,m Jack (Jack55). My wife, Lois and I bought a home halfway up a small mountain facing west and overlooking Warwoman Creek. I started a garden, set up for raising earthworms and mealworms, the built a coop and run. Next week I'll be looking to buy 3-4 female...

I'm thinking of getting light brown leghorns... How do they do in ohio winters?

I have had experience with Jersey Giants, Isa Browns and Golden Comet hens. I let them free range during the day and they return to the coop at night. They are poorly protected by 2 big, lazy dogs. I am surrounded by forest and never had a predator problem (I think because of the dogs). The...
