Brown Leghorns: Pics, Info, and Resources

Yes! Pictures would be great!


I had my dark brown male over some white and some dark brown females...

What with the luck of the draw and horrid incubator issues....I have one DB hatched, all the rest (only 4) are white.

I can't imagine what you would get Brown with white. I have 12 RC Dark Brown. I think they are 50/50 male/female. I'm keeping the best 2 males and when they are old enough, 6 females with each male.

Usually brown x white =white or white with some brown spots.

2 of the chicks though have creamy/toasted colored foreheads. ..which I DID not expect.....not sure what they will turn into.

Lol, I think you have some fuzzy chicken math going on here!

I like it.
Sounds like it would save some chick feed costs.

OK, my math isn't the greatest I'll put 3 females with each male.

Are these two getting their color in yet?

I actually don't know...ask me again Friday.

I have been out of town... traveling back tomorrow, but will not get there until Friday morning.

I didn't have the most impressive sitter. .....so.... that everything is alive when I return.....

I too have been wondering about them, it will be fun to see them when I get home.
