Mcmurray Hatchery Red Leghorns

[stuckinthecity]

Here is my Red Leghorn cock from MM. I call him Saw Blade because of his ugly comb. He is a gentle bird, non-aggressive. After he got past the initial tender chick stage (with a lot of babying and TLC) he and his brother grew out well and were hardy as grow outs. Both he and his brother had pasty butt after shipping and required a lot of TLC. But they pulled through and Saw Blade has become a good brood bird. He has produced some nice looking birds, much nicer than himself. I bred him to a Brown Leghorn hen in the initial F1 cross and the incomplete Black Tailed Reds they produced are quite nice, and extremely hardy.

Thank you!! He’s a great looking bird. Much better than the photo they use on their website.

I’ve also ordered from mcmurray for years and I agree their customer service is the best I’ve ever experienced honestly.

I’ve just never been around the red leghorns before, so I’d love to put a few on my order and see how they do.

Yw! Best of luck with them and please update with how they do. I hope you have better luck with the Reds than I did.
