Talk to me about leghorn hens. I just got one today from a friend and she is my first leg horn. She is the same age as my other chickens. about 4 months old. I am just basically looking for any info about leg horns. She seems so different than the rest of my chickens. She's huge. She waddles. She's messy (on her vent) i picked her up a few minutes ago and I noticed that she doesn't have feathers on her underside. What's up with that? Is that normal or a sign of a problem? Also, she doesn't cluck like my other chickens. She sounds like she's honking!
I'm not sure if she is laying yet. My friends that I got her from haven't seen any eggs yet but she was free range and she may have been laying some where other than the coop.
I'm mostly concerned about the lack of feathers and the honking. Is this normal for a leghorn or something to be concerned about?
