I need this Exchequer Leghorn!

[silkieluver_07]

SunAngel has a beautiful Exchequer Leghorn pullet! I think she ordered hers through McMurray. She has a picture of her pullet on her BYC page I'm pretty sure.

CHeck out this site: http://www.leghorn.nl/

This is the website of the netherland Leghorn club and if you scroll down the pictures at the bottom they show all the colours they got over there. The Excheq is pretty much on the bottom of the list, between the buff and the barred.
Now thats what a real exchequer leghorn should look like.

Gorgeous birds on the site! There are so many varieties that we don't have here but I don't read German and can't figure out what the are.

The link to the site still contains "yourlinkgoeshere", so cut & paste the URL to get there. It's definitely worth the effort!

Agreed, although hatchery versions do look unusual, they are not exact. If you see a "true" exchequer leghorn at a show you will see that it is a pied pattern.
If someone can lay their hands on some really good looking ones I be interested....might even come and look at them.

BTW the site is in Dutch not German hence the .nl at the end of the address (netherlands) and being of dutch descent I can actually read some of it....not much though...

I hope SunAngel doesn't mind me posting a picture of her pullet on here... but I couldn't resist... she's so beautiful!!! (Deb, if you want me to delete the picture from the post, tell me and I'll remove it.)

Isn't she gorgeous!???!

They are beautiful birds. I've pondered the breed a couple times. But truth be told I've wanted all of the breeds at one time or another...lol

I just love that site. I can understand some of it thanks to the genetics calculator. There are many many good dutch sites that I like so I use babelfish to translate for me.

I don't mind at all Hannah

Thanks for posting here, I didn't see this thread til now. I actually got my Exchequer from another BYC member peachick, I think she sells eggs and chicks sometimes.
