Australorp:

Cute, and an awesome forager, but shy with people.

Brown leghorn:

Good foragers. Shy and slightly flighty. I have two. They are identical in color and personality.

White leghorn:

These are some of my favorites. One is more shy, but both are great foragers, and super curious. One likes to follow me and perch on me. Lol. They are identical in color and size.

Austra whites:

I have three. All are similar in personality, with one being more curious and friendly. I really like these also. They are a good mix of their australorp and leghorn parent stock. Very smart and curious birds. They will also be great foragers.

Here are two of mine. One has only one spot, the others have more. I think it varies. The spots show as chicks and get darker as they age.

I don't have pictures but I purchased RIR pullets from Cackle via my local BigR last year. I don't like them nearly as much as those I had from McMurray the previous year. They are mean to the other birds, don't like me checking for eggs and very noisy when laying. One or two are so loud that they get the entire flock going. Also, their eggs aren't as dark nor as big as those from McMurray...So, each of them are going to be repurposed.

Easter eggers:

Okay, I've seen that colors and personalities vary widely for these gals. Some are super friendly, others are super shy. They are all good at finding the food and are robust birds.

Here are some of mine. Ignore anything with barring in these pics, as those are legbar mixes.
