Post Pics of your Leghorns

[summerb123]

Shes really nice. Between her and summerb123s rose comb rosey im rethinking the getting out of rose combs.
I really like the rose combs but ive got some color/patterns that im working on thats going to take a ton of chicks to get. Last year was a slow year and we were going through at least a bag a day sometimes two of just chick starter. Got to limit some things

once y'all see Rosey after I get my phone y'all are gonna love how she turned out!!! She is the best Leghorn I have!!!

Ok... I have a picture to share!

She is a rose comb pullet... a bit of a funky bump on the end of her comb... but I like her shape, and she has good yellow legs.

And yes... all of my rose comb whites have smooth combs.... my rose comb dark browns have bumpy ones. Dunno why.... they just came that way....

Oops, double post.

Anyone else have any smooth rose combs like my whites?

Or does everyone have the regular bumpy rose combs?

I like leghorns tbh I used not be fond of them as I thought they were a bit common and too nervous but I decided to get four and they werent that bad. My favourite is definetly Casey (the white one) she's just so curious and friendly.

What would I get if I crossed my purebred Rhode Island Red rooster (Sullivan) with either my white leghorn, brown leghorn, black lehorn or lavender leghorn.

Btw do any of you have pictures of lavender leghorns?

One easy way to figure out your breeding questions would be to use the calculator on this page:

But in general...

-white is usually dominant...but there will probably be a few spots where the hidden color bleeds through

-just about everything will hide brown
