Post Pics of your Leghorns

[Tala]

Oh where to start! I got 3 White Leghorns from the pullet bin at TSC when I got my first chickens -- so I have LOTS of pictures!!!

Every white chicken in this album is one of my Leghorns

If you have a flock of Leghorns and raise replacement pullets from the hen flock,by only incubating eggs that grade large and extra large,you can build up a strain in 4 or 5 generations that lays big eggs.Selection works,but sometimes very gradual.There are strains noted for big eggs.Minorcas and WF Spanish are noted for big white eggs.

There is a breeder here in MN that has rose-comb leghorns (at $6.00 a chick). The rose-comb is really appealing to me because of our cold MN temps.

Anyone have R.C. Leghorns??? Got pics???

Is there something wrong with her feet in the second picture? They look like they have white stuff on them.

I do, but they are small. I only had a banty roo, so the hens came out small but they lay faithful. He had four sons too, but they are huge! I am trying his sons with my new leghorns this year. But all his chicks had rose combs. And if you are wonding what roo, I always forget the name, he is black w/rc, and a big white spot on the side of his head.

My camera is not working but to give you an idea of his sons, one is a white one, looks just like a leghorn w/a rc, and the other 3 look like dominque (sp?) with a rc. When I get a cam, I will post pics.

I love the leghorns, mine are not afraid in fact one gives me a hug, well I call it a hug. When I go in she goes on a perch and I will go over and she wraps her neck around my neck. It is so cute. And if I don't go to the perch she will fly on my shoulder. I do have some that wont come to me and others that will want some lovins! lol
