Good job, then! Wish I'd gone with that. I wasn't sure whether it was a white rock or a leghorn. I went with the reddish cheeks, and chose to say Rock. Oh, well.

That answer surprised me too - I had never seen or heard of a leghorn of that color, but I looked up red leghorn and mcMurray does have them. Check the earlobe color - they lay white eggs, so if it is a leghorn, it should have white earlobes.

What'd you say #28 was?

#28 didn't look like a leghorn to me, either, but I forget leghorns come in something other than white.

Red Star pullet was my guess, because I wasn't sure.

I guessed RIR pullet.

Sorry Im late, I was at work. But I disagree with the australorp. They often have yellow in their legs and feet where Black Giants are all black. I have personally been a breeder of both breeds. Also I believe the Anconas are actually Mottled Javas because of body style. Anconas are lankier like a leghorn and Javas are thicker.

I'm not sure McMurray sells Javas.

I am not taking any of this as arguement. I am learning as I do this, so any help is valid. And I will only change if the points are right. I will recheck anything that is necessary. I wondered about that Leghorn too as I was typing it.

gosh, I just dropped my mouse again.

by the way, sorry this is taking so long. If any of you have to leave and want me to telephone, send your number via email. I have free long distance, so don't mind. Anyway, there is a reason that I can't work anymore. I have such a problem with deadlines sometimes. Used to be I could have cracked this out in no time. Now everything takes extra thought and care. I forget that when I am estimating my ability for a task. Sorry for the delay.

In order of your points.

Will recheck earlobes on 19, 28. EE is just fine. I am just trying to respect the name that McMurray gives them since they are sponsoring the prize.... But EE is what we all expect when we order hatchery Amers I guess.

McMurray said leghorn on 28. I changed their JG on 19 because of the earlobed I think, but I better recheck to make sure.

Going now. . . . . . .

I got several wrong, but I do not think 28 is a leghorn, wrong body type. And 24 almost cannot be a JG cause of the leg color.
