Hi everyone! I am brand new to chickens, I've been raising ducks though, and I just got 6 Brown Leghorns from my local TSC. I have to say that I went there mainly for ducks, however, I fell for these guys because they looked like chipmunks. I was going to take them to a swap, but I actually fell in love with them. They are just over a week old now, and I believe one to be a rooster. I would absolutely enjoy showing him.
I would like to know if there are any white/brown leghorn differences that exclude color?
How soon will I know for sure he is a rooster?
What do the hybrids look like?
Which would do better at a show?
Are there any other breeds that compare to the Leghorn?
The feed and seed up the road has white Leghorns, but I'm curious with these questions before I break down and grab some pullets.
