I really don't know. These will be my first leghorns of any type, so I've nothing to compare them with either

Ohh ok. The pictures of them are beautiful..

We ran a few days late candling (day 10). I’m down to 17 chicken eggs. I had to remove 7 tonight. 5 non starters (1 mine/4 shipped) & 2 blood rings (1/1). I still have 11/16 that were shipped 2,300 mi cross country

Hey does the Isabella leghorn lay as well as a white leghorn? I know stupid question. I love my white leghorns but it drives me nuts how white poultry always finds dirt to get in, I mean they can have a field of grass and no mud..it doesn't matter. No not ocd..

I do feel your pain my Ameraucanas stay filthy looking & it drives me crazy. I’m sure my white leghorn & snowy EE chicks are dying to get just as dirty

Thank you for the encouragement to try! They came from Ohio so I’m shocked I could see anything today!

I love hearing everyone's progress and successes so far.

Day 18 started at midnight CDT and lockdown has begun!

I did a little more reading and confirmed with the breeder that Icelandics tend to hatch on day 20 rather than 21! So now I'm getting really excited/antsy here waiting to hear the first peep or see egg movement.

They love dirt... meanwhile my black hen looks as clean as can be..
