I just love how they pick a spot and dig a trench. Somewhere i have a picture of my dear Daisy, the greatest hen ever, enjoying a big hole. I may have started it with a shovel.

they like the area where the rain comes off the roof, there are more bugs that are the. A few years ago I had to put some cement down, the hens at the time were just about to dig under the coop.

it is spring

A few changes in the coop,:
I am switching the hens over to Scratch & Peck's new layer pellets
I am getting 5 more Leghorn chicks and To be the Mother hens 4 White Buff Orpingtons
I always liked Scratch and Peck but the hens wasted so much of the feed. So I used Purina Organic Pellets. BUT NOW! S&P has pellets WOOHOO

If you have owned Leghorns, you know they dont get brood and they dont sit on a nest. So I am going to try out--- https://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/white_orpingtons.html

The White Orpington

 

[cmom]

Are your Leghorns hatchery birds. Right now I have a Rhode Island White, White Leghorn and a Dark Brown Leghorn who want to brood. Not going to happen. I am saving the eggs to put in the incubator. I never had White Orpingtons but have had Buff Orpingtons years ago. Hatchery birds don't go broody like heritage birds do. I don't know why but from my experiences they haven't. My Rhode Island Whites are usually more broody than my other birds. Good luck and have fun...

I love my leghorn. Her name is Fern

These are some of my Rhode Island Whites. This is an older picture but I still have my RIW's.

These are some of my White Leghorns.

I don't have many pictures of my Dark Brown Leghorns. The birds the closest to the camera are some of my Dark Brown Leghorns. You can see one of my males with his white earlobes.
