Leghorn Thread!!!

2017 Tail male. This is my backup male. I kept him because , he possesses the feather width I have been looking for. And yes, I did use him for breeding.

Great picture JD. Like the combs of your bodyguards.
Very good Buffs. Thank you for posting.

One of my favorite things is seeing breeders with their birds. It sure would be nice to see some . Here is a picture of me after working with the birds with a Buff Columbian Rose Comb Leghorn we created. Enough of me though, I would love to see you.

Maybe we can get this wonderful thread going again. I drool everytime I see your birds, @The Moonshiner. I would LOVE to have more colors of leghorns. I've never been much of a fan of just plain white in a bird, beautiful though they are. @cookfamilyfarm, you have some gorgeous birds too! New eye candy for me I have just a few SC Light Browns that I am working with. One hen is mottled. Will be a long project if I don't find some good stock to bring in to help. All the same, I love them.

I love Leghorn I slowly learn to love them I've had chickens for 25 years and always stayed away from them because I loved brown eggs as I got like Oren's I was like they're all the same as long as they are home raised little by little I started Loving like worms I love their sleek little figure and everyone that I have kind has been sweet and now I only have leghorns

I think their build is beautiful. Like a racehorse.
Or (hate to say it cause they eat chickens) A bald Eagle.

Ha yes bald eagle racehorse hybrid.. lol... It's their streamlined body , it's what most ppl see in their head when you think of a chicken, unless your like us we see Easter eggers, barred rocks, speckled Sussex, Delaware's lol... My nephew who's 2 draws a chicken with white crayon outlined and red waddles ...it's even in cartoons not just Foghorn Leghorn lol... And they're a quiet bunch of girls when they're hanging out, my barred rocks you could hear from 3 acres away through my window just talking and stuff

My new Leghorn Project, Going to make Columbian Leghorns after a few generations. Also I have some production quality leghorns I will tinker with too if you consider Production Blacks (California Grey) to be leghorns

The Red Leghorns are supposed to be pure red but a few have some Columbia pattern to them. The imperfection works to my advantage with what I want to do with them.

The Silver Leghorns turned our fairly nice for hatchery quality.

I also have production quality leghorns, I also have Production Black hens. When I want a large flock of egg layers I will start hatching out eggs from this flock.

Sounds like some fun projects.
Keep us posted I'd love to see your progress.
Glad to see this thread active again.
I dropped off of it as soon as a grown man started asking to see pics of myself with the birds. Lol sounded more then a bit creepy.
