Do female chickens that originate from the Mediterranean usually grow spurs? I have a white leghorn hen who has really big spurs. I read that they do grow spurs online from google AI so I'm just trying to double check.

My Empress Josephine has a massive spur. Not as big as a rooster's but it's a fairly large one.

Okay. Same with Udon to. (That's my white leghorn.)

Lots of hens grow spurs, but a good person to ask anything Leghorn-related is @The Moonshiner .

I was looking at The Moonshiner's Leghorns. The leghorns are so pretty!

 

[The Moonshiner]

I don't have white leghorns but lots of other varieties.
I don't recall any of the hens having spurs.

 

[Outgoing Orpingtons]

I'm pretty sure it depends on each individual chicken. Not all will have spurs. Some of my leghorns layed blue eggs? I've never seen a Leghorn who layed blue eggs, so I know it's just mine.

 

[BigBlueHen53]

I have two Prairie Bluebell Eggers that looks exactly like Brown Leghorns, and they lay blue.

My understanding is that isn't there two cores in a "module" though, from what I remember?

Not exactly. A module has a pair of integer nodes (basically process threads) but is a "core". So again using the FX-8120, 4 cores (modules) but 8 threads. It gets a little complex and really depends on workload and integer (256 bit int ops consume both threds but 128 bit ops can run independently).

It wasn't a great design overall. Very complex, and both thermally inefficient and overly complex on the die layout.
